Mineral loss (transversal microradiography) · Enamel/dentin specimens with initial caries lesions (or sound surfaces) in intraoral (in situ) appliances worn by patients
Under remineralizing conditions, nHA produced significantly more remineralization than the negative control (MD 350, 95% CI 179 to 521; very low certainty).

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth
No comparative effect estimate was reported; failure rates were tabulated.

Immediate bond strength (MPa) · Glass-ionomer cement bonded to caries-affected dentin (in vitro)
SDF pretreatment without a rinsing step does not affect glass-ionomer cement bond strength to caries-affected dentin (MD 0.26 MPa, 95% CI -0.30 to 0.82; ungraded).

Mucosal (oral) hyperpigmentation · Children or adolescents
CLWH on ART had significantly higher prevalence of mucosal hyperpigmentation than healthy controls (pooled OR 20.35, 95% CI 3.86 to 107.39); the authors described the certainty as low.

Immediate bond strength (MPa) · Dental adhesives bonded to sound dentin (in vitro)
Prior SDF without a rinsing step significantly reduces adhesive bond strength to sound dentin (MD 17.52 MPa favoring untreated dentin, 95% CI 5.81 to 29.22; ungraded).
