This systematic literature search was performed to determine the clinical effectiveness of vestibular shields (VSs) in children undergoing orthodontic treatment. A comprehensive electronic search was performed in May 2022 using three databases (Medline via PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Ovid). The initial screening of articles was based on titles and abstracts. Studies meeting the inclusion criteria were retrieved for the final quality assessment and the methodological qualities were assessed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and Cochrane risk of bias. The initial search identified 262 publications, of which 15 studies were potentially eligible, with excellent intra-examiner reliability (K = 0.88). A total of five studies were selected for the final analysis, including one randomized controlled trial, three clinical trials, and one cohort study. VS may have potential impacts on orthodontic treatment, lips and dental arches, but further high-quality studies are warranted.
进行这项系统的文献检索是为了确定前庭盾（VSs）在接受正畸治疗的儿童中的临床效果。2022年5月使用三个数据库（通过PubMed的Medline、Cochrane对照试验中央注册库和Ovid）进行了全面的电子检索。文章的初步筛选基于标题和摘要。检索符合纳入标准的研究进行最终质量评估，并根据纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表和Cochrane偏倚风险评估方法学质量。初步检索确定了262篇出版物，其中15项研究可能符合条件，检查者内信度极佳（K = 0.88）。最终分析共选择了五项研究，包括一项随机对照试验、三项临床试验和一项队列研究。前庭盾可能对正畸治疗、嘴唇和牙弓有潜在影响，但需要进一步的高质量研究。
