Evaluation of oral health education programs for oral health of individuals with visual impairment: An umbrella review

“…This territory is unexplored for delivering OHE for visually impaired children. Nevertheless, the included SRs mostly concluded that a combination of different OHE methods mentioned above provided better outcomes of oral hygiene than one method alone 14,15,17,18 and one method was not superior to the other methods when used alone. Among the included reviews, the one 14 that was assessed to be of moderate certainty of assessment found "very low" evidence comparing Braille versus audio-tactile, audio versus Braille, audio-tactile versus audio-tactile-braille and audiobraille versus audio-tactile.…”

“…Finally, seven articles were included in the present umbrella review. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The value of Cohen's kappa was calculated to be 0.847, indicating a substantial level of agreement. 19 The flow diagram for the study selection process is depicted in Figure 1.…”

“…The country of origin of the primary authors of three reviews 13,16,18 was India, and one each from Brazil, Indonesia, Netherlands and New Zealand. 12,14,15,17 Only two of the included SRs were registered on Prospero, 13,14 and only one of the SRs reported receipt of partial funding 15 whereas the remaining reviews did not report receiving any funding. Two of the included reviews pooled the data quantitatively, 13,15 with the remaining five being SRs without any meta-analysis.…”

“…Overall, none of the included SRs had a final rating of high confidence in the findings, whereas one attained moderate confidence, 14 and the remaining six had critically low confidence in the results. 12,13,[15][16][17][18]…”
