Area of Science:

  • Evidence-based healthcare
  • Dental research methodology

Background:

  • Systematic reviews (SR) are crucial for transparent and unbiased evidence synthesis in healthcare.
  • SR has been effectively applied to observational studies, demonstrating its versatility.
  • Radiologists are increasingly using SR as a decision-making tool in dentistry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the fundamental components of conducting a systematic review.
  • To discuss the critical elements of literature searching within the SR process.
  • To highlight the application and value of SR in dental research.

Main Methods:

  • Defining a clear research question and establishing specific selection criteria.
  • Developing a comprehensive search plan utilizing multiple electronic databases (e.g., Medline, Embase).
  • Employing various search techniques including controlled subject headings, free-text searching, handsearching, and gray literature review.

Main Results:

  • SR provides a transparent framework for evaluating research.
  • The methodology allows for rigorous appraisal of identified literature against selection criteria.
  • Analysis and formulation of recommendations are key outcomes of the SR process.

Conclusions:

  • Systematic reviews are essential for advancing evidence-based dentistry.
  • A well-defined SR process, including thorough literature searching, ensures reliable findings.
  • SR empowers dental professionals with robust decision-making tools for improved patient care.
