- Population
- Children with decayed primary molar teeth
- Intervention
- Preformed crown (any material; conventional technique or Hall Technique)
- Comparison
- Filling (any material; with or without complete carious tissue excavation; with or without pulp treatment)
- Outcome
- Discomfort associated with the procedure
Preformed crown (any material; conventional technique or Hall… probably leads to lower discomfort associated with the procedure compared with filling (any material; with or without complete carious tissue… (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.
