Mesoporous silica (SiO2) vs Calcium-based agent: Immediate (24 h) resin-dentin bond strength (MPa)
- Population
- Artificial caries-affected dentin (ACAD) in extracted permanent human teeth (in vitro)
- Intervention
- Mesoporous silica (SiO2)
- Comparison
- Calcium-based agent
- Outcome
- Immediate (24 h) resin-dentin bond strength (MPa)
In the Self-Etch adhesive + chemical ACAD protocol network, Silica vs Calcium showed no significant difference in 24 h bond strength (MD 1.964, 95% CI -5.802 to 9.730; Moderate certainty).

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
