Reduction in level of contamination in aerosols (CFU) at more than 1 foot from oral cavity (CCT) · People undergoing aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) in a dental setting
High-volume evacuation (HVE) led to lower reduction in level of contamination in aerosols (CFU) at more than 1… compared with no HVE; GRADE not reported.

Dental erosion, alveolar bone destruction and oral/pharyngeal lesions · Rat models with surgically induced or chronic acid gastroesophageal reflux
In experimental rat models, induced gastroesophageal reflux caused dental erosion, alveolar bone destruction and oral lesions compared with controls, supporting biological plausibility; evidence is ungraded animal research.
1 finding from 1 review
Two rat-model studies found significantly higher rates of dental erosion, alveolar bone destruction and osteomyelitis (Higo) and shorter molar crown heights with dentin exposure, inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis…

Oral mucosa inflammation (gingivitis, periodontitis, mucosal lesions) · Adults with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR)
The association between reflux and oral mucosa inflammation (gingivitis/periodontitis) is inconsistent across five studies and remains ungraded.
1 finding from 1 review
Five studies examined gingival/periodontal and mucosal disorders with inconsistent results: some reported more frequent mucosal inflammatory findings in GERD patients (Yoshikawa, Watanabe, Vinesh 25.5% periodontitis,…

Oral health-related quality of life · Dentate adults without severe periodontitis, regularly attending for dental care in primary care (UK general dental practice)
Routine scale and polish every 6 months showed no clear difference in oral health-related quality of life (OHIP-14) compared with routine scale and polish every 12 months (high certainty).

Participant satisfaction (perceived oral cleanliness) · Dentate adults without severe periodontitis, regularly attending for dental care in primary care (UK general dental practice)
Planned, regular routine scale and polish (6-monthly; 12-monthly… may leads to higher participant satisfaction (perceived oral cleanliness) compared with no scheduled scale and polish treatment (low certainty).
