TT genotype of AMELX rs6639060 vs CC + CT genotype of AMELX rs6639060

Dental caries susceptibility · Individuals assessed for dental caries (cases with caries/high caries vs. caries-free or low/very-low-caries controls)

No significant association between TT genotype vs CC + CT genotype of AMELX rs6639060 and dental caries susceptibility (TT vs CC + CT model: OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.42-2.39) in the Ethnicity: Caucasian subgroup; certainty not graded.

Combination system (Isolite) vs Conventional dental suction (low-volume evacuator / saliva ejector)

Reduction in contamination of aerosols (CFU) after ultrasonic scaling / AGP · People undergoing aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) in a dental setting

It is very uncertain whether combination system (Isolite) changes reduction in contamination of aerosols (CFU) after ultrasonic… compared with saliva ejector (low-volume evacuator) (very low certainty).

Clinical examination with 24-month recall vs Clinical examination with 12-month recall

Dental caries: dmfs increment (primary teeth) · Regular-attending primary-care dental patients aged 3, 16 or 18 years at entry (aged up to 20; low caries risk)

It is very uncertain whether clinical examination with 24-month recall changes dental caries: dmfs increment (primary teeth) compared with clinical examination with 12-month recall (very low certainty).
