1976년 Glass에 의해 메타분석이라는 용어가 처음 사용되었고, 1980년대 중반 이후부터 의학 분야에서, 2000년도 이후부터는 치의학 분야에서 본격적으로 사용되기 시작하여 현재는 메타분석 연구가 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있는 실정이다(Fig. 1). 메타분석은 각 연구들의 상반된 결론이나 논쟁이 야기되었을 때 혹은 짧은 기간에 적은 예산으로 문제의 해결을 요구할 때 효과적으로 사용되고 있다. 요즘 치의학 분야에서도 비슷한 주제를 가진 연구가 계속 증가하여 기존의 문헌 연구로는 경향을 파악하기 힘들고 관련 정보가 많아져 메타 분석의 필요성이 증가하고 있다.
Recently, importance of meta-analysis is increasing in the field of dentistry, since it is not easy to settle controversies arising from conflicting studies. Meta-analysis is the statistical method of combining results from two or more individual studies that have been done on the same topic. Merits of meta-analysis include an increase in power, an improvement in precision, and the ability to address solution not provided by individual studies. However, it might mislead researchers when variation across studies and publication bias are not carefully taken into consideration. The purpose of this study is to help understand meta-analysis by making use of individual results in dental research paper.
