Systemic sclerosis (SSc / scleroderma) vs SSc-free individuals (controls)

Patient outcomes: mean number of filled teeth per 0- to 15-year-old · Adults (general and hospital populations assessed in case-control studies)

No statistically significant difference in number of filled teeth between SSc patients and controls (SMD -0.12, CI includes 0); certainty ungraded.

Gastroesophageal or laryngopharyngeal reflux (GERD/LPR) vs Healthy individuals without reflux (controls)

Dental erosion · Adults with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR)

Reflux (GERD/LPR) is associated with a higher prevalence and severity of dental erosion than in healthy individuals, but the evidence is heterogeneous, not pooled, and ungraded.
