Aim: To carry out an overview related to the subject of trauma to primary and permanent teeth, as well as to analyze the methodological quality and risk of bias in the studied works (PROSPERO CRD42018107840).
Methods: this work was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Overviews (PRIO). The search strategy was applied to the electronic databases PubMed, WebScience, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus, which included publications until October 2020, with no year or language restrictions. The eligibility criteria were evaluated: studies focusing on traumatic dental injuries; presented the term “systematic review” (RS) and/or “meta-analysis” in the title or abstract, eligibility criteria, systematic techniques for collecting and analyzing data, and instruments to assess the quality of the included studies; identify the databases used in the research; and cover the subject: trauma to permanent and/or deciduous teeth or supporting tissues. An evaluation of the quality of the SRs was performed using Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR2), and adherence of the article to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria was verified. The results were analyzed by Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) in order to classify the certainty of scientific evidence, and the risk of bias was assessed by ROBIS.
Results: A total of 2,561 papers were identified, of which 2.469 were excluded, totaling a sample of 92 articles. It is noted that from 2018 onwards, the works presented better methodological quality. Moreover, most of the studies showed a certainty of high scientific evidence, determined by using the modified GRADE system and a low risk of bias determined by using the ROBIS tool.
Conclusion: The systematic reviews and meta-analyses included in this study presented difficulties in the methodological structuring process, attributing, on average, a certainty of high scientific evidence to GRADE, as well as a low risk of bias determined by ROBIS.
