Systematic review and meta-analysis on prevalence and anamnestic risk factors for erosive tooth wear in the primary dentition.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Erosive tooth wear is a multifactorial and common condition in children.

Aim

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence and key risk factors for erosive tooth wear in the primary dentition of children up to 7 years of age.

Design

Electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched in February 2023 for observational studies reporting prevalence and anamnestic risk factors. Additionally, a manual hand search was performed. Meta-analyses were conducted for the prevalence and odds ratios of identified risk factors. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale modified for cross-sectional studies.

Results

A total of 26 sources, reporting on 23 studies, were included in the systemati
