Barriers and Enablers for Minimally Invasive Caries Management Implementation

A systematic review dataset mapping barriers and enablers for implementing Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID) for caries. The dataset was created by Heather Lundbeck and includes data extracted from studies published between 1970 and May 2025. It supports a PROSPERO-registered review (CRD42022342877) that followed PRISMA guidelines and used the COM-B model and Theoretical Domains Framework for analysis.

Use Cases

• Analyzing stakeholder-perceived barriers to clinical guideline adoption based on the described systematic review findings.
• Mapping implementation factors to behavioral theory frameworks like COM-B and TDF based on the described methodology.
• Identifying enablers for minimally invasive caries management across different study settings and populations mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Includes only moderate or high-quality studies as appraised by the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).
• Data extraction was performed independently and in duplicate using a structured form, which suggests a rigorous process.
• Systematic review searches were updated in May 2025, indicating recent literature inclusion.

Limitations

• The dataset is small at 77.9 KB, suggesting limited scope or a highly focused extraction.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
