Association between coronal caries and malocclusion in an adult population.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeOnly a few but conflicting results have been reported on the association between malocclusions and caries. We investigated this association using data from the population-based cross-sectional Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP).
methodsSagittal, vertical and transversal intermaxillary relationship, space conditions and sociodemographic parameters of 1210 dentate subjects (median age 30 years, interquartile range 25-35 years) were collected. Caries was assessed with the Decayed-Missing-Filled Surfaces index but analyzed as ordered outcome (four levels: sound, enamel caries, caries, tooth loss) in ordinal multilevel models, taking into account subject, jaw, and tooth level simultaneously.
resultsAnterior open bite ≤3 mm (odds ratio [OR] = 2.08, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19-3.61), increased sagittal overjet of 4-6 mm (OR = 1.31, CI: 1.05-1.64), distal occlusion of ½ premolar width (OR = 1.27, CI: 1.05-1.53) and distal 1 premolar width (OR = 1.31, CI: 1.06-1.63) were associated with adjusted increased odds for a higher outcome level (caries). Anterior spacing (OR = 0.24, CI: 0.17-0.33), posterior spacing, (OR = 0.69, CI: 0.5-0.95), posterior crowding (OR = 0.57, CI: 0.49-0.66) and buccal nonocclusion (OR = 0.54, CI: 0.33-0.87) were associated with a lower outcome level (caries).
conclusionThe results from this population-based study suggest that a connection between caries and malocclusion exists to a limited extent in young adults. The associations with caries are contradictory for several malocclusion variables. Distal occlusion (OR = 1.31, CI: 1.06-1.63) and related skeletal anomalies displayed positive associations with caries whereas crowding did not. Orthodontic treatment of anterior crowding would probably not interfere with caries experience. These aspects should be considered for patient information and in treatment decisions.
