Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Frontal trångställning är en utav de vanligaste bettavvikelserna. Trots detta råder det brist på systematiska översikter dedikerade till huruvida frontal trångställning påverkar tonåringars livskvalitet. Syftet med denna systematiska översikt var därför att undersöka huruvida frontal trångställning inverkar på livskvaliteten hos tonåringar mellan 12 och 19 år. Material och metod: En litteratursökning utfördes i juni 2019. Relevanta studier identifierades i databaserna PubMed, Google Scholar och Web of Science utav fyra granskare. Följande inklusionskriterier användes: studier som berör livskvaliteten hos ungdomar med frontal trångställning; ungdomar mellan 12–19 år; etablerade frågeformuläranalyser; fulltextartiklar skrivna på svenska eller skandinaviska språk; kliniska studier med analys av livskvalitet. Studiernas evidenskvalitet klassificerades som hög, moderat eller låg, med hjälp av en modifierad version av GRADE guidelines. Resultat: Sökningen identifierade 731 titlar och abstrakt. Fulltextversionen av 44 studier genomgick en lämplighetsbedömning. 39 studier exkluderades då de inte uppfyllde inklusionskriterierna. Efter extraktion och tolkning av data, bedömdes fem publikationer vara kvalificerade för att inkluderas i litteraturöversikten. Samtliga fem studier var tvärsnittsstudier. En utav studierna erhöll en hög kvalitet, fyra studier erhöll en moderat kvalitet. Samtliga studier drog slutsatsen att frontal trångställning har negativ inverkan på livskvaliteten hos ungdomar. Konklusion: Slutsatsen av denna systematiska översikt är, med en moderat till hög evidensnivå, att frontal trångställning har en negativ inverkan på livskvaliteten hos tonåringar, jämfört med tonåringar med frånvaro av denna bettavvikelse.

Abstract [en]

ABSTRACT Objectives: Anterior crowding is one of the most common malocclusions. Despite this fact,there is a shortage of systematic reviews dedicated to the impact of anterior teeth crowding on adolescents’ quality of life. The aim of this systematic review was therefore to study whether anterior crowding affects the quality of life among adolescents between 12 and 19 years old. Materials and methods: A literature search were performed in June 2019. Relevant studies were identified in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science by four independent reviewers. The following inclusion criteria were used: studies that concern quality of life in children with anterior crowding; adolescent age 12–19; established questionnaire analysis; full-text studies written in English and Scandinavian languages; clinical studies with assessment of quality of life. Quality of evidence was classified according to a modified version of the GRADE guidelines as high, moderate or low. Results: The search identified 731 titles and abstracts. The eligibility of 44 full-text studies were assessed. 39 studies were excluded since they did not fulfill the inclusion criteria. After data extraction and interpretation, five publications were considered fully qualified for inclusion. All five studies were of cross-sectional design. One study was validated with a high level of quality and four studies with moderate level of quality. All the studies concluded that anterior crowding has a negative impact on the quality of life in adolescents. Conclusion: This review concludes, with a moderate to high evidence, that anterior crowding has a negative impact on the quality of life in adolescents, compared to adolescents without this malocclusion.
