Ungraded means an effect was reported without a GRADE rating; it is not a gap. No studies means the review found nothing to answer the question. The six categories are a display order, not a score.
Review question
| Element | Planned (methods) | Found (results) |
|---|---|---|
| Population | Children aged 5-6 and 11-13 years in Latin America and the Caribbean | 75 studies from Latin America and the Caribbean (70-80% Brazilian); primary dentition 47 studies/26,467 children (5-6 yr); permanent dentition 63 studies/86,358 children (11-13 yr) |
| Intervention | Not applicable (prevalence review; no intervention) | Not applicable |
| Comparison | Not applicable (prevalence review; no comparator) | Not applicable |
| Outcomes | Prevalence of dental caries (cavitated lesions) in primary and permanent teeth | Pooled caries prevalence: primary teeth 0.56 (95% CI 0.52-0.59); permanent teeth 0.58 (95% CI 0.54-0.61); very high heterogeneity (I2 96.5% and 98.9%) |
| Study designs | No restriction on study design (epidemiological surveys of caries prevalence; minimum sample 30) | 75 epidemiological prevalence surveys; 2 used ICDAS (Colombia), the rest mostly WHO criteria; most conducted by calibrated examiners |
| Timing | Studies conducted in the 21st century (data collected after 2000); searched through May 2016 | Publication years 2000-2016; most recent data collection 2014 |
