No additional acid etching (self-etch adhesive alone) after Er,Cr:YSGG preparation vs Prior acid etching before self-etch adhesive after Er,Cr:YSGG preparation: Incidence of microleakage

Population
Er,Cr:YSGG laser-prepared cavities restored with self-etch adhesive systems (in vitro)
Intervention
No additional acid etching (self-etch adhesive alone) after Er,Cr:YSGG preparation
Comparison
Prior acid etching before self-etch adhesive after Er,Cr:YSGG preparation
Outcome
Incidence of microleakage

At the dentin margin, prior acid etching with self-etch adhesives significantly reduced microleakage (RR 2.44, 95% CI 1.38-4.34; ungraded).

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.
