| Aim | To analyze the quality of the systematic reviews available on treatments for molar-incisor hypomineralization. |
| Level of Investigation | Descriptive |
| Summary of Findings | From 5 included systematic reviews on treatments for molar-incisor hypomineralization indexed across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, Brazilian Bibliography of Dentistry and Cochrane Library up to March 2022. Three Systematic Reviews were rated as showing critically low methodological quality and high risk of bias. Only two systematic reviews registered a protocol, or made available lists of excluded studies and the reasons for exclusion. None of the studies reported the sources of financing of included studies and four of the five did not have a satisfactory explanation for the heterogeneity found. Four did not conduct a comprehensive search. |
