Absence (previous removal or agenesis) of asymptomatic disease-free impacted wisdom teeth vs Retention (conservative management) of asymptomatic disease-free impacted wisdom teeth: Caries affecting the (distal) adjacent second molar
- Population
- Adults (416 healthy male volunteers aged 24 to 84 years) with asymptomatic disease-free impacted wisdom teeth
- Intervention
- Absence (previous removal or agenesis) of asymptomatic disease-free impacted wisdom teeth
- Comparison
- Retention (conservative management) of asymptomatic disease-free impacted wisdom teeth
- Outcome
- Caries affecting the (distal) adjacent second molar
It is very uncertain whether absence (previous removal or agenesis) of asymptomatic disease-free… changes caries affecting the (distal) adjacent second molar compared with presence (retention) of asymptomatic disease-free impacted wisdom… (very low 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.
