Databases searched were PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and EMBASE. Authors of selected studies were contacted for additional information and to search for unpublished studies. A rigorous screening of publications was conducted, and data were extracted independently by two reviewers. All analytical study designs were included without language or year of publication restriction. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle\u2010Ottawa guidelines. Random\u2010effects stratified meta\u2010analyses were conducted to estimate the pooled odds ratio (OR). Meta\u2010regression was carried out to assess potential factors associated with heterogeneity, such as study design, diagnostic criteria, sample characteristics, community fluoridation programmes, country economic indicators, and social policies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The search retrieved 5562 unique articles and 155, conducted in 44 different countries, were included after full\u2010text reading.
