Quantification of Removable Prosthesis Plaque Area Coverage Among Adult Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Key Points

• Evaluate the effectiveness of various plaque quantification methods in removable prostheses and their implications for cleanliness.
• Conducted a systematic review of existing literature on removable prosthesis plaque coverage.
• Performed a meta-analysis to quantify plaque area among adult patients.
• Reviewed and compared different plaque measurement techniques used in studies.
• Found that existing studies show poor cleanliness of removable prostheses.
• Identified a lack of standardized methods for quantifying plaque coverage, relying on visual assessments.
