Total-etching 36% phosphoric acid + acetone-based total-etch adhesive vs Acetone-based total-etch adhesive: Radiological failure
- Population
- Children with extensive decay involving the dental pulp in primary teeth
- Intervention
- Total-etching 36% phosphoric acid + acetone-based total-etch adhesive
- Comparison
- Acetone-based total-etch adhesive
- Outcome
- Radiological failure
It is very uncertain whether total-etching 36% phosphoric acid + acetone-based total-etch adhesive changes radiological failure compared with acetone-based total-etch adhesive (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.
