Dental implants in growing patients: A quality assessment of systematic reviews.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dental implants in the recent past have become indispensable in restoring loss of space and support as well as aiding the aesthetics. Although in practice for a few years there is no consensus on the protocols for placement and usage of dental implants in growing jaws.

Objective

The present study aims to evaluate evidence-based literature on single or multiple dental implant placements in children(up to 17 years) and to identify areas lacking and gaps in knowledge. The quality assessment tool,namely AMSTAR-2, will also aim to evaluate the quality of said research around paediatric dental implants.

Design

The study was prospectively registered on the Open Science Framework https://osf.io/e59bt/?view_only=ec8fb69455c240ecbfc7379734784bf7.For source selection,
