This report is both intriguing and vexing.

It is intriguing because it addresses a central issue in oral health care - what is the relative value of prevention. This is of central importance as the global community begins to seriously consider prevention vis-a-vis traditional surgical treatment of caries.

It is vexing because nowhere in the article is there an explicit listing of the 17 reviews or 71 included articles identified in Figure 2, nor is there an appendix or link to the identified publications.

Perhaps the authors might make this information available here?
