Adequate adoption of evidence-based practice is deeply rooted in accessing methodological quality and completeness of systematic reviews and meta-analyses reporting. Nonetheless, this assumption might be flawed if the methodological quality assessment has not been properly conducted. Taking the former statement into consideration, this correspondence article encourages the improvement of future tertiary manuscripts, especially in the field of restorative dentistry. Thus, this article addresses an overview of reviews in restorative dentistry as an example of evaluating tertiary evidence for increasing the awareness of reviewers, authors, and readers.
充分采用基于证据的实践，需要深入了解系统评价和荟萃分析报告的方法学质量和完整性。然而，如果方法学质量评估没有得到妥善处理，这种假设可能存在缺陷。考虑到前一个陈述，本文鼓励未来的三级文献的改进，特别是在修复牙科领域。因此，本文以修复牙科的综述为例，介绍了评估三级证据的概述，以提高审稿人、作者和读者的认识。
