To validate and ascertain the reliability of the Orofacial Esthetic Scale specifically within the context of prosthodontic patients, aiming to establish it as a credible and standardized tool for evaluating orofacial esthetics in this specialized cohort.
The systematic analysis adhered to the guidelines outlined by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). A systematic search using four databases PubMed /Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct along with manual and grey literature (ProQuest and Google scholar) till 30 October 2023 was performed. The risk of biasness was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist followed by validity analysis. For meta-analysis, psychometric values (Cronbach alpha and Intra class correlation coefficient) were used through MedCalc software.
The overall ICC value was 0.95 (95% CI: 0.94 to 0.96) and the overall Cronbach alpha value was 0.94 (95% CI: 0.92 to 0.96). There was evidence of high heterogeneity and no publication bias among the studies included.
This study underscores the pivotal role of orofacial esthetics in prosthodontic care, introducing the Orofacial Esthetic Scale as a validated tool to quantitatively assess subjective perceptions. This will highlight its potential for tailored treatment planning and improved patient outcomes.
在口腔修复患者的背景下验证并确定口面部美学量表的可靠性，旨在将其确立为评估这一特定群体口面部美学的可靠且标准化的工具。
系统分析遵循系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南。使用四个数据库（PubMed /Medline、科学网、Scopus、科学Direct）以及手动检索和灰色文献（ProQuest和谷歌学术）进行系统检索，直至2023年10月30日。使用乔安娜·布里格斯研究所（JBI）批判性评价清单评估偏倚风险，随后进行效度分析。对于Meta分析，通过MedCalc软件使用心理测量值（克朗巴哈系数和组内相关系数）。
总体组内相关系数（ICC）值为0.95（95%置信区间：0.94至0.96），总体克朗巴哈系数值为0.94（95%置信区间：0.92至0.96）。纳入的研究中有证据表明存在高度异质性且无发表偏倚。
本研究强调了口面部美学在口腔修复治疗中的关键作用，引入口面部美学量表作为一种经过验证的工具来定量评估主观认知。这将突出其在个性化治疗计划和改善患者治疗效果方面的潜力。
