Declarations of interest

Catherine Waldron: I have been sponsored by Wrigley's Ireland and the Sunstar Foundation to design and present oral health promotional activities. The content of these presentations and activities has not been in any way influenced by the sponsors.

Caoimhin MacGiolla Phadraig: none known.

June Nunn: I was a member of a consensus working group in 2015 sponsored by Johnson & Johnson to develop a position statement on the management of periodontal disease in the community, for submission to the Department of Health's Oral Health Strategy Review Group in Ireland. I withdrew as a signatory to the final document, as I was not prepared to endorse the use of designated commercial mouthwashes in situations where routine oral hygiene measures were deemed not to be possible.

Catherine Comiskey: I have undertaken programme evaluations through my university, but none of these would have any influence on my impartiality within the current review.

Erica Donnelly‐Swift: none known.

Suzanne Guerin: I have previously conducted evaluations in a range of areas that are separate to the topic at hand.

Mike Clarke: none known.

PICOs

Population
Intervention
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.
