Fluoride varnish vs Untreated lesions (single-arm before vs after proportion)

Remineralisation of early enamel caries · Patients (mainly children) with white spot lesions (WSL)

Professionally applied 5% sodium fluoride varnish remineralised about two-thirds of early enamel caries lesions in children (pooled proportion 63.6%, 95% CI 36.0% to 91.2%; 4 studies); certainty was not GRADE-rated and heterogeneity was very high (I2=96%).
