Abstract

ABSTRACT: Objectives: This systematic review aimed to critically evaluate the available evidence on the use of MBT and Roth prescriptions as fixed orthodontic appliances. Search methods: Following the seven stage recommended in the Cochrane Handbook, this systematic review was conducted by searching five electronic databases, including Google scholar, PubMed, Cochrane Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ISI Web of Science and Scopus from the beginning to 2020 were searched. The reference lists of the related studies were also hand searched. Results: The search process resulted in the identification of 107 papers, 104 and 3 cases of which were obtained through electronic and manual searches, respectively. After the removal of the duplicates and unrelated articles in the initial screening, 91 studies were remained to be screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The second screening led to the inclusion of nine papers in the study. Conclusion: Our systematic review was indicative of the lack of sufficient information regarding the efficiency of MBT and Roth prescriptions to support the evidence-based clinical use of one of these prescriptions for fixed orthodontic appliances.
