This study aimed to systematically review the correlational accuracy between width ratios and length ratios based on the Kvaal methodology with chronological age. This systematic review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). The search strategy included ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, and Taylor and Francis and Willey online without time or language restriction using Kvaal method of age estimation as key words for the search up to December 2021. A team of two researchers independently selected the studies and extracted the data. The Covidence platform was used to systematically organize all titles. The full texts of eligible studies were analyzed. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using a modified (to the specific characteristics of this systematic review) checklist based on Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement checklist for observational studies. A total of 658 articles were initially reviewed, but 22 were selected for inclusion. The risk of bias was estimated to be unclear to low overall. Among the length ratios, ratio R showed a strong association with chronological age, followed by ratio P. For the width ratios, ratio B demonstrated a close association with chronological age, followed by ratio C. The results suggest that width ratios correlate better with chronological age than length ratios. This systematic review suggests the width ratios are more strongly associated with chronological age than the length ratios. Using a width ratio could serve as a convenient and rapid way to estimate dental age. Our results apply equally to all types of ethnic groups.
本研究旨在系统地回顾 Kvaal 方法与年龄的相关性准确性,基于该方法的宽度比和长度比。本系统综述遵循系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目 (PRISMA)。搜索策略包括 ProQuest、PubMed、Science Direct、Taylor and Francis 和 Willey 在线,没有时间或语言限制,使用 Kvaal 年龄估计方法作为搜索关键字,截至 2021 年 12 月。一个由两名研究人员组成的团队独立选择研究并提取数据。使用 Covidence 平台系统地组织所有标题。对合格研究的全文进行了分析。使用基于观察研究流行病学报告标准 (STROBE) 声明检查表的修改版 (针对本系统评价的具体特征) 评估偏倚风险 (RoB)。最初审查了 658 篇文章,但有 22 篇被选中纳入。总体而言,偏倚风险估计为不明确至低。在长度比中,比值 R 与年龄呈强相关性,其次是比值 P。对于宽度比,比值 B 与年龄呈密切相关性,其次是比值 C。结果表明,宽度比与年龄的相关性优于长度比。本系统评价表明,宽度比与年龄的相关性优于长度比。使用宽度比可以作为一种方便快捷的方法来估计牙齿年龄。我们的结果同样适用于所有类型的种族群体。
