Abstract
Aims/objectives: Biomechanical preparation (BMP) of primary teeth often involves using hand and rotary instruments. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of hand and rotary instruments during BMP in primary teeth.
Methods: A thorough search for relevant systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs) was conducted in four databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library. The primary outcome assessed was the instrumentation time (IT) for BMP, and the identified SRMAs were qualitatively analysed using the ROBIS tool. Furthermore, quantitative analysis, evidence stratification, and GRADE analysis of eligible SRMAs were performed using the browser-based R package metaumbrella software.
Results: Six SRMAs addressing the research question were included, with five being evaluated as having a high risk of bias (ROB). The findings indicated that the IT required for BMP in primary teeth was 3.2 min less (95% CI = 1.52 to 4.93; I2 = 96%; P = < 0.001) using rotary instruments compared to hand instruments, with a 'class IV' evidence stratification and 'very low' class of evidence.
Conclusions: Based on the existing evidence, it can be inferred that there is insufficient quality data to recommend the use of rotary instruments over hand instruments in primary teeth.
期刊介绍:
Evidence-Based Dentistry delivers the best available evidence on the latest developments in oral health. We evaluate the evidence and provide guidance concerning the value of the author''s conclusions. We keep dentistry up to date with new approaches, exploring a wide range of the latest developments through an accessible expert commentary. Original papers and relevant publications are condensed into digestible summaries, drawing attention to the current methods and findings. We are a central resource for the most cutting edge and relevant issues concerning the evidence-based approach in dentistry today. Evidence-Based Dentistry is published by Springer Nature on behalf of the British Dental Association.
