This review assessed awareness of the application, its educational effectiveness and its reported quality and utilisation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Material and Methods<\/jats:title>\n PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar, with supplementary sources, were searched on 5 August 2026 without language or date restrictions. Studies addressing any of these were eligible. With one conflict\u2010of\u2010interest exception, screening, extraction and appraisal were independent and in duplicate, using Joanna Briggs Institute checklists and a review\u2010specific appraisal. Awareness was pooled using a binomial\u2013normal generalised linear mixed model with a prespecified subgroup analysis by population type. Certainty was assessed with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Twenty\u2010one studies were included. Fourteen awareness studies included 4576 participants; eight were conducted in T\u00fcrkiye. Awareness was 27.1% (95% confidence interval 13.4\u201347.1) among dental professionals and students, 3.1% (1.0\u20138.8) among non\u2010dental health professionals and students and 1.6% (0.6\u20134.1) among lay populations. Pooled across all populations it was 5.0% (1.8\u201313.1), with substantial heterogeneity (\n I<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n \u2009=\u200996.5%) and a prediction interval of 0.1%\u201379.2%; this summarises the included samples rather than any global population. Three uncontrolled studies (298 participants) reported immediate knowledge gains too heterogeneous to pool; at 1 month their pooled standardised mean change was 2.33 (1.48\u20133.18). Certainty was very low for awareness and educational outcomes.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Awareness was particularly low in non\u2010dental health and lay samples. Population and geographic heterogeneity limit generalisation. Short\u2010term knowledge gains do not establish sustained learning or improved management of actual injuries, and application\u2010quality findings rest on an unvalidated review\u2010specific appraisal. These findings support evaluating targeted dissemination and longer\u2010term clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Trial Registration<\/jats:title>\n PROSPERO; submitted 28 July 2026 and formally registered 9 August 2026, after the searches<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/edt.70142","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]],"date-time":"2026-10-09T05:49:49Z","timestamp":1791524989000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Awareness and Educational Effectiveness of the\n ToothSOS<\/scp>\n Mobile Application for Traumatic Dental Injuries: A Systematic Review and Meta\u2010Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6926-6590","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Berkehan","family":"Aykanat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Burdur T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0264-2149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammed","family":"Ayhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Burdur T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9670-953X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hande","family":"\u00d6zy\u00fcrek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry Kocaeli Health and Technology University Kocaeli Kocaeli T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-8114-0542","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bilal","family":"Ayaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan University Rize T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"71","DOI":"10.1111\/edt.12389","article-title":"World Traumatic Dental Injury Prevalence and Incidence, A Meta\u2010Analysis\u2014One Billion Living People Have Had Traumatic Dental Injuries","volume":"34","author":"Petti S.","year":"2018","journal-title":"Dental Traumatology"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"116","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-9657.2002.00079.x","article-title":"Effect of Treatment Delay Upon Pulp and Periodontal Healing of Traumatic Dental Injuries\u2014A Review Article","volume":"18","author":"Andreasen J.
