Abstract
Limitations in this systematic review were a lack of randomized trials, a heterogenous population and non-standardized methods for measuring outcomes, all making it difficult to postulate conclusions about CST and its modifications. Based on pooled results of 36 studies, the prevalence of SSO is comparable between the techniques with an average of one in five and the prevalence of recurrences is highest when using the Open Anterior Approach at 11.9%.
