SDF (given at a particular frequency, concentration, or duration) vs SDF (given at a different frequency, concentration, or duration): Secondary prevention of caries
- Population
- Children and adults (with or without carious lesions)
- Intervention
- SDF (given at a particular frequency, concentration, or duration)
- Comparison
- SDF (given at a different frequency, concentration, or duration)
- Outcome
- Secondary prevention of caries
It is very uncertain whether SDF (given at a particular frequency, concentration, or duration) changes secondary prevention of caries compared with SDF (given at a different frequency, concentration, or duration) (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.
