RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Children with autism exhibit a higher general and dental anxiety, due to altered sensory sensibilities. AIM: This current systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Sensory adapted dental environment (SADE) over regular dental environment (RDE) on behavioral, physiological stress and overt anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospero registered (CRD42024508336). PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus databases are searched from years January 1, 1980-January 1, 2024 using pre-defined search strategy. RESULTS: A total of 269 titles, were obtained from the included databases after application of filters, exclusion of duplicates and reviews and irrelevant articles led to the final inclusion of 12 articles for full text screening from which, three studies sustained the targeted PICO search. CONCLUSION: Skin conductance level (parameter indicating physiological stress) is lower in SADE environment in children with ASD, other behavior stress related parameters there is no significant difference between SADE and RDE environments.
RESUMO
This current systematic review aimed to evaluate the current evidence on the effect of topical capsaicin application to alleviate symptoms related to burning mouth syndrome (BMS). PubMed, Ovid SP, and Cochrane were searched from 1980 to 2022 to identify relevant literature. A total of 942 titles (PubMed, 84; Ovid SP, 839; Cochrane, 19) was retrieved, of which 936 were excluded based on the title and abstract. A total of 11 studies were further evaluated for full text analysis, of which 7 were excluded. As a result, 4 articles were included for qualitative synthesis of data. Capsaicin as a mouthwash can have potential application in the treatment of symptoms related to burning mouth. The quality of available studies is moderate to low, and a well-designed randomized multicentric study comparing capsaicin with other active agents is planned to obtain more definitive conclusions.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a very common systemic inflammatory rheumatic disorder affecting the musculoskeletal system in children below 16 years of age. Joint inflammation and tissue destruction is the prime characteristic of the disease. Along with the systemic involvement in the long joints, several studies are mentioning the increased association of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in JIA. This current systematic review intends to find the prevalence rate of TMD in JIA-affected individuals as compared to healthy controls. METHODS: We have searched in PubMed, Scopus and Ovid SP for articles published between the timeframe 1 January 1990 and 1 June 2023. All the searched articles were subjected to the Population, Exposure, Comparison, and Outcome model (PECO) based on which inclusion or exclusion is carried out. Participants (P) are children below 18 years of age, Exposure (E) is children or adolescents with a diagnosis of JIA, Comparator is age and gender-matched healthy controls who has no JIA or any systemic disorder, Outcome (O) is the prevalence of TMD. Only the studies that evaluated TMD using diagnostic criteria for evaluation of TMD (DC/TMD) were included in the analysis. We have set the exclusion to the following reasons- diagnostic sensitivity studies, case reports, and systematic reviews. The software Review Manager Version 5.4 (Cochrane Collaboration) was used to perform the pooled analysis. We measured the risk ratio (RR) between the two groups (JIA and no JIA) for the outcome TMD. RESULTS: The pooled total included subjects were 366 in this review with an established diagnosis of JIA as evaluated by DC/TMD. The overall effect of the pooled data suggests that there is a significant difference in the TMD prevalence in the JIA group when compared to the control, results suggest that TMD is more prevalent in the JIA group RR 3.86; 95% CI [2.59, 5.76]. CONCLUSION: Overall, based on the data we can suggest a positive relationship between JIA and TMD, hence presence of JIA can be a risk factor for the development of TMD. The sensitivity of DC/TMD is low when compared to magnetic resonance imaging.

BACKGROUND: Children with autism exhibit a higher risk of poor oral health due to difficulty in the performance of simple tasks such as toothbrushing. AIM: This current systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Picture based intervention of toothbrush training on improvement of oral hygiene in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospero registered (CRD42023450156). PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus databases are searched from years January 1, 1980 to August 1, 2023 using broad search terms (brush) AND (autism). RESULTS: The search queries have identified 853 titles, from three databases (PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane), after application of filters for exclusion of systematic reviews and meta-analysis, duplicate exclusion and removal of irrelevant titles led to the final inclusion of 24 articles for full text screening. From the 24 included studies, 10 studies (four RCTs and six non-randomized clinical studies) sustained the final rigorous PICO search. Quantitative pooling of data were performed for limited articles. CONCLUSION: Low quality evidence suggest that picture-based intervention of toothbrush training has significant improvement (p ≤ .05) in improving toothbrushing habit as well as performance as indicated by the Plaque Index score (PI), Gingival index (GI) and Oral hygiene index score (OHI-S).

BACKGROUND: Haemophilia A, B and von Willebrand disease are the most common bleeding disorders. There is an increased tendency of spontaneous bleeding into joints resulting in intra-articular infection. It is believed that Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) can be affected in a similar manner which can further lead to limited mouth opening and ankylosis. The association between bleeding disorders (BD) and development of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is poorly understood. This systematic review intends to evaluate the association of TMD in individuals with inherited bleeding disorders as compared to healthy controls. METHODS: PubMed, Ovid SP and Google Scholar were searched for articles published between the times of inception to 1 May 2023. All the articles were subjected to Population, Exposure, Comparison and Outcome model (PECO) based on which inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. Participants (P) is children, adults or adolescents; Exposure (E) is children, adults or adolescents with a diagnosis of Haemophilia or bleeding disorder (BD); Comparator (C) is age and gender-matched healthy controls who do not have Haemophilia or bleeding disorder; Outcome (O) is prevalence of any signs or symptoms (clinical, radiographic) that is suggestive of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Studies showing the prevalence of TMD are included for qualitative analysis. Only the studies which provided data of the prevalence of TMD in both the groups (BD and healthy controls) were included in the quantitative analysis. TMD diagnosis can be by clinical signs and symptoms, radiographic criteria, Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD), The Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) or any other imaging criteria (MRI). We have set the exclusion criteria as articles without a control group, diagnostic sensitivity studies, case reports and systematic reviews and narrative reviews. The software Review Manager version 5.4 (Cochrane Collaboration) was used to perform the pooled analysis. We measured the risk ratio (RR) between the two groups (BD and healthy controls) for the outcome TMD. RESULTS: A total of seven studies are included for qualitative analysis of data. The age of the population (BD and control) in the included studies ranged between 2 and 57 years. The prevalence of TMD in individual studies varied from 2% to 77%, and controls in the individual studies varied from 2% to 14%. Among the included studies, only clinical signs, symptoms and history were taken into consideration in four studies. Four studies were included for meta-analysis, the pooled result of the four studies suggests there is no significant difference in the prevalence of TMD in BD and control group (p value = .11, RR 2.19; 95% CI [0.84, 5.73]). CONCLUSION: This systematic review and meta-analysis elicits no association between bleeding disorders and increased prevalence of TMD.

Background: Adrenaline or clonidine is used as adjuncts in conjunction with lignocaine to improve the depth of local anaesthesia in dental procedures. Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis intends to compare the haemodynamic parameters when clonidine or adrenaline is used in conjunction with lignocaine for third-molar surgical removal. Data Sources: Cochrane, PubMed and Ovid SP databases were searched using "MeSH" terms (((nerve block) OR (IANB)) AND ((clonidine) OR (adrenaline))) AND (lignocaine). Study Eligibility Criteria: Clinical studies where Clonidine + lignocaine and Adrenaline + lignocaine were compared directly during nerve block administration exclusively for third molar surgical removal were selected. Participants Study Appraisal: This current systematic review is registered in Prospero database CRD42021279446. Two independent reviewers were involved in collection, segregation and analysis of electronic data. The data were compiled in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Search was conducted till June 2021. Synthesis Methods: Qualitative analysis of the selected articles was performed for systematic review. Meta-analysis is performed using RevMan 5 Software. Heterogeneity through the I2 statistics. Change in the haemodynamic parameters was the primary outcome evaluated, and secondary outcomes evaluated were onset and duration of anaesthesia in both the groups. Results: In all databases, 1141 records were screened, out of which a total of 21 articles were included for the evaluation for full-text analysis. Out of these, 16 articles were excluded and 5 articles were included for the final systematic review. Meta-analysis was performed only for 4 studies. Conclusion: Amongst the evaluated haemodynamic parameters, there was a significant reduction in the heart rate (baseline to intraoperative period) in clonidine and lignocaine groups than in adrenaline and lignocaine groups during nerve block administration for third molar surgical removal. There was no significant difference between other primary and secondary outcomes evaluated. Limitations: Blinding was not performed in all the studies, randomisation was performed in only three studies. The volume of local anaesthesia deposited varied in the studies (2 mL in three studies and 2.5 mL in two studies). Most of the studies (n = 4) were evaluated on normal adults and only one study evaluated mild hypertensive patients.
