Subepithelial connective tissue graft (palate) at implant placement vs No augmentation

Soft tissue thickness change · Partially edentulous patients receiving posterior mandibular implants

Subepithelial connective tissue graft (palate) at implant placement led to lower soft tissue thickness change compared with no augmentation; GRADE not reported.

TLS utilising embryo selection software vs TLS with conventional morphological assessment of still TLS images

Live birth or ongoing pregnancy · couples undergoing assisted reproductive technology

It is very uncertain whether TLS utilising embryo selection software changes live birth or ongoing pregnancy compared with TLS with conventional morphological assessment of still TLS images (very low certainty).

Higher consumption of snacks / sugar / soft drinks vs Lower consumption

Dental caries · Healthy children and adolescents in the United Arab Emirates

Higher snacking and soft-drink/sugar consumption were associated with more caries in most studies, though one study found no association with sweet-consumption frequency (narrative synthesis; not GRADE-rated).

Minimally invasive caries removal (MIT): selective removal to soft dentin, self-limiting chemomechanical removal, or partial/incomplete caries removal vs Conventional caries removal (CT): selective removal to firm dentin, stepwise excavation, or complete caries removal

Pulp exposure rate · Patients with deep carious lesions in permanent (mainly posterior) teeth

Minimally invasive caries removal was associated with a lower mean pulp exposure rate than conventional removal (1.2% vs 8.1%), but the difference was not statistically significant (Wilcoxon, p = 0.068); certainty of evidence was not graded.

Minimally invasive caries removal (MIT): selective removal to soft dentin, self-limiting chemomechanical removal, or partial/incomplete caries removal vs Conventional caries removal (CT): selective removal to firm dentin, stepwise excavation, or complete caries removal

Treatment success (caries lesion arrest or restoration survival) · Patients with deep carious lesions in permanent (mainly posterior) teeth

Minimally invasive caries removal showed a marginally higher mean restoration success rate than conventional removal (83.6% vs 75.4%), but the difference was not statistically significant (Mann-Whitney U, p > 0.05); certainty of evidence was not graded.
