Abstract

Objective: To validate and ascertain the reliability of the Orofacial Esthetic Scale specifically within the context of prosthodontic patients, aiming to establish it as a credible and standardized tool for evaluating orofacial esthetics in this specialized cohort. Methods: The systematic analysis adhered to the guidelines outlined by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). A systematic search using four databases PubMed /Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct along with manual and grey literature (ProQuest and Google scholar) till 30 October 2023 was performed. The risk of biasness was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist followed by validity analysis. For meta-analysis, psychometric values (Cronbach alpha and Intra class correlation coefficient) were used through MedCalc software. Results: The overall ICC value was 0.95 (95% CI: 0.94 to 0.96) and the overall Cronbach alpha value was 0.94 (95% CI: 0.92 to 0.96). There was evidence of high heterogeneity and no publication bias among the studies included. Conclusion: This study underscores the pivotal role of orofacial esthetics in prosthodontic care, introducing the Orofacial Esthetic Scale as a validated tool to quantitatively assess subjective perceptions. This will highlight its potential for tailored treatment planning and improved patient outcomes.
