recognized, quantifiable study design that helps in systematical evaluation of earlier research studies to originate conclusions indicative of body of research. Conclusions drawn from meta-analysis may consist of a more detailed and accurate assessment of the consequences of various treatments, different risk factors for any particular or specific disease, or other outcomes, than individual research contributing to joint analysis. One of the critical outcome of meta-analysis study result is its heterogeneity

Four factors lead and aggravate caries: 1. Host’s diet 2. Decreased resistance to the bacteria 3. Time of exposure 4.

universally, sepsis is almost unique, as it can affect any age group and present in any clinical area, regardless of the health sector. Prevalence of sepsis varies internationally, but is estimated to be about 300 cases per 100,000 populations, per annum, globally (Hall, Williams, DeFrances & Golosinskiy, 2011). The Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre (ICNARC, 2012) data reported that 102,000 cases of sepsis arise annually, In the United Kingdom, with 36,800 deaths as a result, which
