Current Evidence for the Management of Edentulous Atrophic Mandible Fractures: A PRISMA-SWiM Guided Review.

ABSTRACT:

Study design

PRISMA-SWiM guided systematic review.

Objective

1. Provide consistent evidence regarding the management of atrophic mandible fractures; 2. To search, evaluate and validate existing guidelines if any for the management; 3. Provide evidence regarding specific management of condylar fractures in the atrophic mandible; 4. To address the clinical applicability of bone grafts.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA-SWiM protocol. PROSPERO ID: CRD42021235111. Studies with adequate data on outcome, treatment methods were selected. Isolated case reports, case series, and non-human studies were excluded. Quality assessment was done using Newcastle -Ottawa scale. The level of evidence was assessed using Oxford Level of Evidence.
