Resumo
A systematic review of the literature, with meta-analysis, was conducted up to
March 2018 throughout the following electronic databases: MEDLINE/PubMed,
SCOPUS, SciELO, and LILACS. Gray literature was also included. The searching
strategy included three blocks of terms involving the outcome, the population,
and the locations. The selection of the studies was developed by two authors.
First, the authors evaluated the title and the abstract, then they assessed the full
text, and finally the papers were selected. Papers without the prevalence of
dental caries or decayed-missing-filled teeth (dmft/DMFT) indexes, studies that
did not report the results for Indigenous people independently, and archeological
research were excluded. No filters for language and publication dates were
applied.
