目的:评估,通过系统评价(SR)和荟萃分析,患者暴露于全景X线片后,口腔上皮中遗传毒性作用的发生。
方法:用PICOS进行SR(人群,干预,比较,结果,和研究设计)策略,旨在回答以下问题:“全景X射线照片可以对口腔上皮产生基因毒性作用吗?”该研究已在PROSPERO(国际前瞻性系统评价注册)平台上注册。在以下电子数据库中进行了系统搜索:PubMed(包括MedLine),Scopus,Embase,LILACS,MedlineEbscoHost,谷歌学者。治疗效果定义为标准化平均差(SMD),建立95%置信区间(CI)。JoannaBriggs研究所的观察性研究问卷被用来评估偏倚的风险。GRADE工具用于评估SR的证据质量。
结果:通过搜索策略共选择了251项潜在相关研究。筛选标题和摘要后,评估了11份全文手稿的资格,并将9项观察性研究纳入荟萃分析。本研究显示暴露后微核增加(SMD=0.21,95%CI,0.03至0.28,p=0.02),Tau2index=0.00,Chi2=2.35,p值=0.97。因此,选择的文章被认为是同质的,0%的I²表明异质性低。
结论:根据分析的研究,尽管证据质量被认为很低,全景X线照片可引起口腔上皮的基因毒性损伤,但影响小。
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate, through a systematic
review (SR) with meta-analysis, the occurrence of genotoxic effects in the oral epithelium after the exposure of patients to panoramic radiographs.
METHODS: An SR was performed with the PICOS (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Study design) strategy, aiming to answer the following question: \"Can panoramic radiographs induce genotoxic effects on the oral epithelium?\" The study was registered in the PROSPERO (International prospective register of systematic reviews) platform. A systematic search was performed in the following electronic databases: PubMed (including MedLine), Scopus, Embase, LILACS, Medline EbscoHost, and Google Scholar. Treatment effects were defined as standardized mean difference (SMD), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were established. The Joanna Briggs Institute questionnaire for observational studies was applied to assess the risk of bias. The GRADE tool was used to assess the quality of evidence of the SR.
RESULTS: A total of 251 potentially relevant studies were selected through the search strategy. After screening titles and abstracts, 11 full-text manuscripts were assessed for eligibility and nine observational studies were included in the meta-analysis. The present study showed an increase in micronuclei after the exposure (SMD = 0.21, 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.28, p = 0.02), with a Tau2index = 0.00, Chi2 = 2.35, and p-value = 0.97. Therefore, the articles selected were considered homogeneous and the I² of 0% indicated low heterogeneity.
CONCLUSIONS: According to the studies analysed, although the quality of evidence was considered low, panoramic radiographs can cause genotoxic damage in the oral epithelium but with a small effect size.
