Abstract

Patients with MPS present with a plethora of dental manifestations, accompanying behavioral difficulties and medical comorbidities which often dictate the need for treatment in specialist centers. Prevention is therefore mandatory in this high‐risk group.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
