这篇简短的综述强调了缺乏与口腔健康中的性别和性别差异有关的证据，以及普遍存在的概念混淆和混淆。对这些问题的更广泛的生物医学理解将提供一个有价值的框架，在这个框架内，可以进一步探讨男女之间口腔健康的差异。这反过来又将促进发展必要的证据基础，以优化牙科实践的功效，满足女性和男性患者的需求。
This brief review highlights the lack of evidence relating to sex and gender differences in oral health as well as the widespread conceptual confusion and conflation that often underlies them. A broader biomedical understanding of these issues will offer a valuable framework within which differences in oral health between women and men can be further explored. This in turn would facilitate the development of the evidence base necessary to optimise the efficacy of dental practice in meeting the needs of both women and men patients.
