The review found no eligible studies for this question.
1 finding from 1 review
Presence of dry socket · Adults (>18 years) having permanent tooth extraction (predominantly mandibular third molars)
Povidone iodine 1% led to lower presence of dry socket compared with control; GRADE not reported.

Dental attendance at orthodontist · School children, secondary school in the UK (aged 11 to 13 years)
It is very uncertain whether criteria-based screening with specific (personalised) referral letter changes dental attendance at orthodontist compared with criteria-based screening with non-specific referral letter (very low certainty).
1 finding from 1 review
Purchase requests · Children and adolescents (general population, aged under 20 years)
Nonrandomized evidence on purchase requests is very uncertain (very low certainty).
2 findings from 1 review
A single observational study contributed to the combination-of-P-values analysis for purchase requests.
1 study
Very low
Combination of P values statistically significant in both model iterations, indicating evidence of an association of food marketing with purchase requests.
5 studies
Moderate
Immediate bond strength (MPa) · Glass-ionomer cement bonded to sound dentin (in vitro)
SDF pretreatment without a rinsing step does not affect glass-ionomer cement bond strength to sound dentin (MD 0.26 MPa, 95% CI -0.20 to 0.73; ungraded).

No eligible studies compared dental development and maturation between different ART regimens.
1 finding from 1 review
Pain (VAS cm) · Adults (>18 years) with established dry socket following permanent tooth extraction
Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) showed no clear difference in pain (VAS cm) compared with alvogyl; GRADE not reported.
1 finding from 1 review
Presence of dry socket · Adults (>18 years) having permanent tooth extraction (predominantly mandibular third molars)
Recombinant bovine fibroblast growth factor gel led to lower presence of dry socket compared with control; GRADE not reported.
1 finding from 1 review
Time to initial pain relief (minutes) · Adults (>18 years) with established dry socket following permanent tooth extraction
Neocone led to lower time to initial pain relief (minutes) compared with zinc oxide eugenol; GRADE not reported.

Adverse events · People aged 12 years and over with painful TMD lasting 3 months or longer
1 finding from 1 review
Reduction in pain intensity · People aged 12 years and over with painful TMD lasting 3 months or longer
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) may leads to lower pain intensity at follow-up (12 months) compared with usual care, waiting list or no treatment (control) (low certainty).
2 findings from 1 review
Molar and premolar caries detection accuracy · Dental images of human beings
The review reported 82% accuracy for combined molar and premolar caries in Lee et al. (Ungraded).
1 finding from 1 review
Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth
No comparative effect estimate was reported; compomer had more favorable retention in the review narrative.
1 finding from 1 review
Mortality (pneumonia-associated) · Residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
Professional oral care may leads to lower mortality (pneumonia-associated) compared with usual oral care (low certainty).
1 finding from 1 review
Food choice · Children and adolescents (general population, aged under 20 years)
Food marketing probably increases children's choice of the marketed food (OR, 1.97; moderate certainty, RCTs).
3 findings from 1 review
Presence of dry socket · Adults (>18 years) having permanent tooth extraction (predominantly mandibular third molars)
Platelet rich fibrin showed no clear difference in presence of dry socket compared with control; GRADE not reported.
1 finding from 1 review
Sensitivity for detection of enamel caries · Asymptomatic children or adults suspected of enamel caries (clinical studies); extracted teeth (in vitro studies)
Electrical conductance or impedance had a summary sensitivity of 0.83 (95% CrI 0.66, 0.92) for detecting enamel caries; low certainty.
