Abstract
Background: We aimed to review studies that evaluated the effect of cigarette smoking on orthodontic treatment methods and determine whether the smoke affected appliances in a way that could impair the effectiveness of the overall treatment strategy.
Methods: PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were scoured using pertinent keywords, reference searches, and citation searches in accordance with the PRISMA protocol regarding articles published from 2008 till 2022.
Results: Ultimately, 7 papers were chosen for further analysis at the end of the selection protocol. Overall pooled odds ratio (OR) for the impact of cigarette smoking on orthodontic treatment was 0.25 (95% CI: 0.15, 0.43), with high statistical significance (P<0.00001) but also high heterogeneity (I2 = 81%). The relative risk (RR) was 0.50 (95% CI: 0.38, 0.66), indicating a 50% greater risk of noticeable impact, with high statistical significance (P<0.00001) and high heterogeneity (I2 = 79%), and the risk difference (RD), which was -0.33 (95% CI: -0.45, -0.21), suggesting a 33% higher risk of noticeable impact, with high statistical significance (P<0.00001) and high heterogeneity (I2 = 81%). The high heterogeneity in all measures indicates significant variability in the results across the included studies.
Conclusion: All the 7 studies selected for our systematic review exhibited significant detrimental associations between smoking and orthodontic appliances and other modalities that were exposed to cigarette smoke. However, more studies need to be done in this regard, since the literature currently available on this relationship is quite poor and lacking in concrete evidence.
期刊介绍:
Iranian Journal of Public Health has been continuously published since 1971, as the only Journal in all health domains, with wide distribution (including WHO in Geneva and Cairo) in two languages (English and Persian). From 2001 issue, the Journal is published only in English language. During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health. We would be very delighted to receive your Original papers, Review Articles, Short communications, Case reports and Scientific Letters to the Editor on the above mentioned research areas.
