The objective of this review protocol is to map the available evidence regarding all the oral health surveys of Traditional Peoples and Communities (TPCs) in Brazil.
The review question of the protocol is: 'What evidence is available on the oral health surveys of Traditional Peoples and Communities in Brazil?'. Observational studies that report oral health surveys of TPC in Brazil will be included. The protocol considered the Problem, Concept and Context strategy to guide data collection, as established by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The search strategy will consider Medical Subject Headings terms, synonyms and relevant free terms about epidemiological surveys in oral health and TPC in Brazil, with no limits to data, language, subject or search type, in the databases Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE/PubMed), Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scopus, Web of Science and Embase. Bibliographic searches will be updated until June 2023. The selection will be carried out by two independent, blinded reviewers, following the eligibility criteria, based on the title and abstract identified in the initial search. Potentially eligible studies will be fully read to confirm eligibility and collect relevant information. The categorisation of the studies will consider the author and year of publication, the traditional group studied, the study design, geographic location, age group, sample size, data collection method and the main oral health problem evaluated and its outcome. The data obtained and extracted will be presented in table format and text and presented using the visualisation of similarities method.
The present study does not need ethical approval. The protocol title was registered in the Open Science Framework (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/BQ5J3). A final article will be prepared presenting the results of the scoping review, and will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. The findings of this review will be presented at national conferences and scientific meetings.
本综述方案的目的是绘制巴西传统民族和社区（TPC）所有口腔健康调查的现有证据图谱。
方案的审查问题是：“关于巴西传统民族和社区的口腔健康调查有哪些证据？”。将纳入报告巴西 TPC 口腔健康调查的观察性研究。该方案考虑了 Joanna Briggs 研究所确定的问题、概念和背景策略来指导数据收集。搜索策略将考虑关于口腔健康和巴西 TPC 的流行病学调查的医学主题词、同义词和相关自由词，对数据、语言、主题或搜索类型没有限制，将在数据库 Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online（MEDLINE/PubMed）、Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde（LILACS）、Scopus、Web of Science 和 Embase 中进行搜索。将对文献进行更新，直到 2023 年 6 月。选择将由两名独立的、盲目的评审员进行，根据最初搜索中确定的标题和摘要，根据资格标准进行选择。有潜力的合格研究将进行全面阅读，以确认合格并收集相关信息。研究的分类将考虑作者和出版年份、研究的传统群体、研究设计、地理位置、年龄组、样本量、数据收集方法以及评估的主要口腔健康问题及其结果。获得和提取的数据将以表格和文本的形式呈现，并使用相似性可视化方法呈现。
本研究不需要伦理批准。方案标题已在开放科学框架（DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/BQ5J3）中注册。将准备一份最终文章，呈现范围综述的结果，并将其提交给同行评议期刊发表。该综述的研究结果将在全国会议和科学会议上展示。
