Is chewable toothbrush effective in terms of dental plaque reduction in children? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Due to unexplained high heterogeneity and low methodological quality of RCTs, we cannot determine the extent to which our finding reflects a true effect or bias arising from limitations of primary studies.
