Prior application of silver diamine fluoride (SDF), with or without a rinsing step vs No prior SDF application (untreated dentin control): Immediate bond strength (MPa)
- Population
- Dental adhesives/resin composite bonded to dentin (in vitro), sound or caries-affected
- Intervention
- Prior application of silver diamine fluoride (SDF), with or without a rinsing step
- Comparison
- No prior SDF application (untreated dentin control)
- Outcome
- Immediate bond strength (MPa)
Prior SDF application significantly reduces the immediate bond strength of adhesives to dentin overall (MD 7.12 MPa favoring untreated dentin, 95% CI 1.38 to 12.85; ungraded), with very high heterogeneity (I2=98%).

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.
