Differences between protocol and review

This review differs from the protocol in several aspects. In the 'Selection of studies' section the protocol states "Full‐text copies of all eligible and potentially eligible studies will be obtained and these will be further evaluated in detail by two review authors (AS and IP) to identify those studies which actually meet all the inclusion criteria. A third review author will moderate any disagreement (AVK)." Due to time constraints and other personal obligations author Ivy Peltz (IP) was unable to evaluate in detail the full‐texts of the eligible and potentially eligible studies. This role was taken on by author Analia Veitz‐Keenan (AVK) and author IP served to moderate any disagreement between authors Andrew Schenkel (AS) and AVK.

Additionally, for developing the 'Summary of findings' table for the 'Presentation of main results' section, two review authors (AS and IP) planned to extract the findings from each of the included studies and the third review author was expected to moderate any disagreement (AVK). However, this was not explicitly stated in the protocol. Nevertheless, due to time constraints and other personal obligations author IP was unable to complete the extraction of the findings from each of the included studies. This aspect of the data extraction was taken on by author AVK and author IP was available to moderate any disagreement between authors AS and AVK.

Also, this review was intended to be limited to postoperative hypersensitivity (POH) after two weeks; however, no studies reported any data for this time frame (recall interval). Therefore this review included one month POH data which was the time frame most often reported.

PICOs

Population

Comparison
Outcome

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

See more on using PICO in the Cochrane Handbook.

POH was also measured at 24 hours (1 trial at high risk of bias) and 1 month (3 trials at high/unclear risk of bias). A benefit in favour of liners was shown at 24 hours; this difference was not maintained at any other time point

1 additional high risk of bias study measured patient‐reported POH using VAS. A benefit was shown in favour of liners at 1 week and 1 month follow‐up

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% CI) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI)
CI: confidence interval; MD: mean difference; RR: risk ratio; VAS: visual analog scale

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate

*Assumed risk based on control group risk.
1Downgraded due to high risk of bias and imprecision.
2Downgraded due to single study at high risk of bias.
34 studies reported on restoration failure at 1 year. However, no failures were reported in either group for 3 of the 4 studies; these studies do not inform the RR presented.
