Accuracy of Estimating Periodontitis and Its Risk Association Using Partial-Mouth Recordings for Surveillance Studies: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Our aim is to conduct an up-to-date systematic review and meta-analysis pertaining to the accuracy of using the partial-mouth recording protocol (PRP) in surveillance studies to estimate the periodontitis prevalence, extent, severity, and its risk associations.

Methods

Medline and Embase databases were searched for studies which assessed the periodontitis prevalence, severity, extent, or its risk associations using PRPs versus full-mouth recording protocols (FRPs); searches were conducted up until May 26, 2021. The risk of bias and the applicability of the studies were assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool. Both qualitative data synthesis and quantitative data synthesis were performed, and comparisons were done for the accuracy and precision of PRPs for different perio
