Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objective: To determine whether temporary anchorage devices (TADs) could enhance the mandibular effects of Forsus Fatigue Resistant Devices (FFRD) in growing patients presenting with a Class II malocclusion. Materials and methods: Without language restriction, electronic and manual searches were conducted through databases and relevant journals until the 20th February, 2020. Studies comparing the therapeutic effects in Class II patients treated with TAD-anchored FFRD and patients receiving conventional FFRD were considered eligible. Two reviewers independently conducted the study inclusion, data extraction and risk of bias assessment following Cochrane guidelines. The outcomes were qualitatively synthesised and the level of evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) tool. Results: Six studies meeting the selection criteria were identified. All except one reported that a greater reduction in the proclination of the mandibular incisors was achieved in TAD-anchored groups compared with the conventionally-treated groups. Controversial results were found in the skeletal and soft tissue descriptions of positional change. The evidence quality varied from very low to moderate. Conclusion: Moderate-quality evidence suggests that TADs are beneficial in reducing the proclination of the mandibular incisors caused by FFRD in Class II patients. Controversies related to the effects on mandibular growth and soft tissue positional change remain. There is a trend that miniplates may enhance the mandibular skeletal effects of FFRD better than miniscrews but further investigation is indicated.
