Fluoride agent (e.g., NaF/SDF/KF/CaF2) vs No biomimetic remineralization (control): Immediate (24 h) resin-dentin bond strength (MPa)

Population
Artificial caries-affected dentin (ACAD) in extracted permanent human teeth (in vitro)
Intervention
Fluoride agent (e.g., NaF/SDF/KF/CaF2)
Comparison
No biomimetic remineralization (control)
Outcome
Immediate (24 h) resin-dentin bond strength (MPa)

In the Etch-and-Rinse adhesive + biological ACAD protocol network, Fluorine showed 4.197 MPa higher 24 h bond strength than Control (MD 4.197, 95% CI 1.080 to 7.314; Moderate 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.
