What is the effect of preterm birth on permanent tooth crown dimensions? A systematic review and meta-analysis

<h4>Background</h4> The permanent tooth formation process may be disrupted in preterm infants with potential discrepancies in size and subsequent occlusal disturbances. <h4>Objective</h4> To systematically analyse and quantitively synthesize the available evidence regarding t...
