Question · asked by 1 review
38% SDF (indirect pulp capping) vs Resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC): Restoration color, marginal staining and luster (esthetics)
- Population
- Children with deep occlusal caries in young permanent first molars (indirect pulp capping)
- Intervention
- 38% SDF (indirect pulp capping)
- Comparison
- Resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC)
- Outcome
- Restoration color, marginal staining and luster (esthetics)
RMGIC gave significantly better restoration esthetics than SDF, which caused black staining (p=0.03; 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.
