Evidence‐based periodontal plastic surgery: an assessment of quality of systematic reviews in the treatment of recession‐type defects

Abstract

All SRs agree that RC may be anticipated by different surgical procedures. However, differences in the methodological quality between reviews were quite evident, and thus making a clear indication that there is a need of standardization of the methods that will be applied by future SRs. As a result, a standardized checklist for reporting SRs was proposed by the authors.

Dental Implants Installed in Irradiated Jaws

“…This review was prepared in accordance with guidelines from PRISMA (Moher et al, 2009), the Cochrane Collaboration (Higgins and Green, 2011), and Check Review (Chambrone et al, 2010b).…”

“…Case series have noteworthy methodological weaknesses, and their inclusion in a systematic review may lead to inaccurate suppositions in relation to the review's focused question (Chambrone et al, 2010b). Even in meta-analyses in which no significant heterogeneity was identified, additional forms of bias, such as selection and publication bias, may influence outcomes, as may differences in the timing of radiotherapy (whether it occurred before or after implant placement), radiation dose, the type of implant placed, differences between patients' systemic conditions (smoking status), occlusal factors, and follow-up period.…”

Gingival recession: part 3. Surgical management using free grafts and guided tissue regeneration

“…In suitable cases a combination of the subepithelial connective tissue graft with a coronally advanced pedicle flap is considered to be the gold standard procedure due to the high success rates reported in the literature. 33,37 …”

Tabaquismo y su efecto en los tejidos periodontales

“…Hay investigaciones que indican que el hábito de fumar influye negativamente en procedimientos de cirugía de cobertura radicular medido en cambios como NIC y ubicación del margen gingival al final del procedimiento 35 . Adicionalmente, en el estudio de Silva et al, señalan que los pacientes fumadores intervenidos con cirugías de injertos gingivales libres tenían un retraso en la repitealización y un menor sangrado en el sitio dador.…”
