ABSTRACT Background: Although titanium is a popular material in implantology, its greyish colour can lead to aesthetic problems. Therefore, research has focused on finding a material for implants that has the same colour of the tooth, in order to improve its aesthetic appearance, and at the same time is highly biocompatible and able to withstand the forces present in the oral cavity. Objective: To determine the survival rates of zirconium oxide dental implants, using a systematic review and meta-analysis. Material and methods: A literature search was conducted up to December 2015 in the biomedical databases, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The selection criteria of the studies considered to use zirconium oxide dental implants, with a maximum age of 5 years, that reported survival rates, time greater than or equal to one year follow-up, and a sample size equal to or gr...

Objective: To compare, through a systematic review and a meta-analysis, the clinical effect of the adhesive strategies of universal adhesives (UA) in the treatment of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Material and Method: A search of the literature was carried out up to January 2018, in the biomedical databases: Pubmed, Embase, Scielo, Science Direct, SIGLE, LILACS, BBO, Google Scholar and the Central Register of Cochrane Clinical Trials. The selection criteria of the studies were as: randomized clinical trials, with a maximum age of 5 years and which report the clinical effects (marginal adaptation, discoloration or marginal staining, presence of secondary caries, postoperative sensitivity, retention and fractures) of the UA in the treatment of NCCLs. The risk of study bias was analyzed through the Cochrane Handbook of systematic reviews of interventions. Results: The search strateg...

Background: The purpose of this review is to determine the association between the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight in newborns and periodontal disease in pregnant women. Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out until November 2021 in the following biomedical databases: PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scielo, LILACS and Google Scholar. Studies reporting the association between the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight in newborns with periodontal disease in pregnant women, which were systematic reviews, in English and without time limits were included. AMSTAR-2 was used to assess the risk of the included studies, and the GRADEPro GDT tool was used to assess the quality of the evidence and the strength of the recommendation of the results. Results: The preliminary search yielded a total of 161 articles, discarding those that did not ...
