Prior SDF application with a rinsing step vs No prior SDF application (untreated dentin control): Immediate bond strength (MPa)
- Population
- Dental adhesives bonded to caries-affected dentin (in vitro)
- Intervention
- Prior SDF application with a rinsing step
- Comparison
- No prior SDF application (untreated dentin control)
- Outcome
- Immediate bond strength (MPa)
Prior SDF followed by a rinsing step significantly increases adhesive bond strength to caries-affected dentin (MD -4.79 MPa favoring SDF, 95% CI -9.19 to -0.40; 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.
