Spontaneous changes in mandibular incisor crowding from mixed to permanent dentition: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Dental crowding is the most prevalent malocclusion in the mixed and permanent detitions and can have a major impact on dentofacial esthetics. However, adjustments to the development and growth of the dentition can potentiate self-correction of dental crowding during childhood.

Objective

To evaluate the physiological behavior of mandibular incisor crowding in the transition from mixed to permanent dentition.

Methodology

Five electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS and LIVIVO) and part of the gray literature (Proquest and Google Scholar) were investigated, based on the eligibility criteria associated with the acronym PECO, until June 2022. The risk of bias was assessed using the ROBINS-E tool and the certainty of evidence, the GRADE too
