2Robot Technology in dentistry, literature characteristics23ResultsStudy selectionThe search in all three databases combined, excluding duplicated articles, resulted in 911 articles eligible for title and abstract screening. After title and abstract screening 161 articles were deemed valuable for inclusion of which 71 articles had to be excluded with reasons specified (Fig. 1). The most frequent reason for exclusion (26 times) was the unavailability of a full-text version of the articles. The complete texts of 90 articles were carefully reviewed and screened by hand searching to find four additional articles matching the inclusion criteria [16-19]. In total 94 articles were included in this systematic review for qualitative synthesis (Fig. 1).
