CPP-ACP enamel pre-treatment for prevention of white spot lesions before bonding metallic orthodontic brackets vs No enamel pre-treatment before bonding, or treatment with another material: Shear bond strength (SBS) of metallic orthodontic brackets
- Population
- Sound enamel of extracted permanent human teeth
- Intervention
- CPP-ACP enamel pre-treatment for prevention of white spot lesions before bonding metallic orthodontic brackets
- Comparison
- No enamel pre-treatment before bonding, or treatment with another material
- Outcome
- Shear bond strength (SBS) of metallic orthodontic brackets
When used to prevent white spot lesions on sound enamel, CPP-ACP pre-treatment did not significantly affect shear bond strength (MD 1.009, 95% CI -0.723 to 2.740; 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.
