摘要
<strong>Objective:</strong> This study aimed to systematically review current relevant literature on the prevalence of bimaxillary protrusion. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> The electronic databases PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar and the Cochrane Library were searched using specific inclusion criteria to obtain applicable articles. References from included studies were also examined. <strong>Results:</strong> Three articles were identified that met the inclusion criteria. Prevalence of bimaxillary protrusion ranged from 3.7% to 68.8% in different populations reported in the literature examined. GRADE assessed overall confidence was deemed to be very low. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> These results show that the prevalence of bimaxillary protrusion varies greatly between races and geographic regions. The Trinidad and Tobago population has a high prevalence of bimaxillary protrusion.
