“…In agreement with Bramer et al (2017), our findings from 12 systematic reviews [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ] also showed that the most frequently-used databases were Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science [ 3 ]. Another two databases, i.e., PsycINFO and Global Health databases, are inaccessible via UM Library or the virtual library service by the Ministry of Health Malaysia and were thus not selected for the present review.…”

A comprehensive search for primary studies using a sufficient number and relevant databases is critical to minimise bias and increase the validity of a systematic review. We examined the frequency and choices of databases commonly used to provide an efficient search of primary studies for a systematic review of anthropometric measurements and dental caries among children in Asia. Twelve previous systematic reviews on a similar topic were retrieved from six databases. The frequency and choice of databases used by reviewers were determined from the methods sections. We also identified the lists of other databases usually searched in other reviews. Eligibility criteria for final databases selection were the database’s scope, the topic of interest, design of the study, type of article, and the accessibility of the databases. Of the 77 databases identified, previous reviews on this topic used 21 databases, ranging from 2 to 12 databases in each review. Medline, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and PubMed were employed most frequently. Twenty-six databases were eligible and selected for the present review. Twelve were regional databases to provide comprehensive coverage of primary studies. A systematic approach in selecting appropriate databases for searching primary studies is paramount to reduce errors, ensure coverage, and increase the validity of systematic reviews’ conclusions.

Objective. To evaluate if nutritional status is associated with caries and gingivitis in Brazilian schoolchildren. Material and methods. Children of both genders, age ranging from 8 to 11 years old, were included in this study. Caries was diagnosed using ICDAS (International System for Detection and Assessment of Carious Lesions) and gingivitis was diagnosed using the Community Periodontal Index. The nutritional status of each child was defined by BMI Z-score calculation. Data on oral health behavior and dietary habit were collected through parent’s questionnaires. Parametric analyzes were performed to compare the groups. The established alpha was 5%. Results. The sample consisted of 353 schoolchildren: 16 underweight children, 247 eutrophic children, 64 overweight children, and 26 were obese children. Overweight, Obese and Overweight + Obese children presented less cavitated caries lesion than Eutrophic children ( P < .05). Gingivitis was not associated with nutritional status ( P > .05). Conclusion. Caries was associated with overweight and obesity in Brazilian schoolchildren.

Objectives: To describe the oral health profile of individuals who had undergone gastric bypass surgery (GBP) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) to generate hypotheses for further studies.Material and Methods: Fourteen individuals treated with GBP or SG surgery ≥ 2 years ago and with observed and/or perceived oral problems were recruited to a case series. The documentation included clinical and radiographic examinations, biomedical sampling, and self-reported diet and questionnaires. The results are presented descriptively.Results: The age range was 31 to 66 years and all had a BMI > 25 (range 25.4-44.7).Only four participants were fully dentate. Eleven out of 14 individuals exhibited severe decay. A majority had poor oral hygiene and high bacterial counts. The flow rates of unstimulated saliva were extremely low and hyposalivation was present in ten of the fourteen cases. Most perceived several oral health problems, such as chewing difficulty and tooth hypersensitivity.Conclusions: Individuals who had undergone GBP or SG surgery had poor clinically diagnosed oral health and perceived oral health problems. Longitudinal studies are needed to monitor the patients' oral health, from before bariatric surgery to longterm postoperatively.bariatric surgery, case series, oral health | INTRODUCTIONObesity is a global health issue today with worldwide rates tripling since 1975. In 2016, 650 million adults (13%) were reported as obese that is, a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30 kg/m 2 (WHO, 2020). The corresponding proportion in Sweden is 15%, according to a recent national health survey (The Public Health Agency of Sweden, 2018). Obesity is considered a risk factor for an array of chronic diseases (The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Collaborators, 2017) however, studies on the association between an obese condition and oral disease show somewhat contradictory results and causal relationships are not well established (Nascimento et al., 2016;Shivakumar, Srivastava, & Shivakumar, 2018).Obesity is difficult to treat despite several treatment options, including reduced dietary energy intake, physical activity,
