| 1 | Oral health | This review examined the effectiveness of varnishes and gels containing chlorhexidine in preventing tooth decay in children and young people. | Did not show chlorhexidine varnish or gel reduces tooth decay or reduces the bacteria that encourage tooth decay. The four studies that looked at side effects and found none. | 13 APR 2015 | http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD008457.pub2/abstract |
| 2 | Oral health | Does xylitol, a natural sweetener used in products such as sweets, candy, chewing gum and toothpaste, help prevent tooth decay in children and adults? | Fluoridetoothpaste with xylitol may reduce tooth decay in the permanent teeth of children by 13% over a 3 year period when compared to a fluoride-only toothpaste with no side effects reported by the children. Inconclusive whether or not any other xylitol-containing products can prevent tooth decay in infants, older children, or adults. | 26 MAR 2015 | http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD010743.pub2/abstract |
| 3 | Oral health | Do antibiotics taken orally at the time of the placement of a dental implant prevent an infection? | Oral administration of amoxicillin before placement of dental implants is effective in reducing implant failures.It is unclear if postoperative antibiotics are beneficial, or which antibiotics work best. | 31 JUL 2013 | http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD004152.pub4/abstract |
| 4 | Oral health | How effective are composite resin fillings compared with conventional amalgam fillings in permanent teeth in the back of the mouth? | Composite resin fillings are almost twice as likely to fail compared with amalgam fillings when used for filling permanent teeth atthe back of the mouth. | 31 MAR 2014 | http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD005620.pub2/abstract |
| 5 | Oral health | Comparison of full-mouth scaling (over 24 hours) or full-mouth disinfection (over 24 hours) for the treatment of chronic periodontitis to conventional quadrant scaling and root planing (over a series of visits at least one week apart). | No evidence that FMS or FMD has benefit compared to conventional scaling and root planing. | 17 APR 2015 | http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD004622.pub3/abstract |
| 6 | Oral health | Compare different interventions for cessation of sucking pacifiers (dummies, soothers), finger or thumb in children. | Low quality evidence that use of an orthodontic brace (such as a palatal crib or arch) or a psychological intervention (such as use of positive or negative reinforcement), or both, was more likely to lead to cessation of the habit than no treatment. | 31 MAR 2015 | http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD008694.pub2/abstract |
| 7 | Oral health | Compare different orthodontic treatments for correcting posterior crossbites. | Very small amount of low- to moderate-quality evidence to show that the quad-helix appliance may be more successful than removable expansion plates at correcting posterior crossbites and expanding the inter-molar width for children with both baby and adult teeth (aged eight to 10 years). | 8 AUG 2014 | http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD000979.pub2/abstract |
