Uses of TAD. For skeletal anchorage, best treatment options.
Are these claims novel? If not, please specify papers that weaken the claims to the originality of this one.
No
Are the claims properly placed in the context of the previous literature?
No. Only 15 references are there.
Do the results support the claims? If not, what other evidence is required?
Review article based on only Pubmed search, need to search more.
If a protocol is provided, for example for a randomized controlled trial, are there any important deviations from it? If so, have the authors explained adequately why the deviations occurred?
No
Is the methodology valid? Does the paper offer enough details of its methodology that its experiments or its analyses could be reproduced?
No
Would any other experiments or additional information improve the paper? How much better would the paper be if this extra work was done, and how difficult would such work be to do, or to provide?
Need more references and more appropriate discussion with references.
