Description
Summary:In order to justify the public expenses for this disorder, various occlusal indices have been developed, that classify the severity of malocclusion and the corresponding impact to oral health if no treatment is under taken. [...]malocclusion and OT are recognized in multiple health systems as an oral health related quality-of-life (OHRQoL) issue [5]. [...]papers are searched for, using keywords, followed by a selection process based on clear criteria. The keywords and search terms are built from research questions, however, due to the complexity of the subject, the analysis cannot be applied to a list of specific terms, but only to a list of expressions or combinations of terms. [...]it is important to recognize that the keywords, both discipline and language-specific, are not standardized. [...]the Google Scholar library was excluded from the next steps of the systematic review.
