Diode laser vs electrosurgery

Clinical failure · Children with extensive decay involving the dental pulp in primary teeth

It is very uncertain whether diode laser changes clinical failure compared with electrosurgery (very low certainty).

Total-etching 36% phosphoric acid + acetone-based total-etch adhesive vs Calcium hydroxide (CH)

Clinical failure · Children with extensive decay involving the dental pulp in primary teeth

It is very uncertain whether total-etching 36% phosphoric acid + acetone-based total-etch adhesive changes clinical failure compared with calcium hydroxide (CH) (very low certainty).

Self-etch adhesive + acetone-based total-etch adhesive vs Acetone-based total-etch adhesive

Clinical failure · Children with extensive decay involving the dental pulp in primary teeth

It is very uncertain whether self-etch adhesive + acetone-based total-etch adhesive changes clinical failure compared with acetone-based total-etch adhesive (very low certainty).

OrthoMTA vs RetroMTA

Clinical failure · Children with extensive decay involving the dental pulp in primary teeth

OrthoMTA showed no clear difference in clinical failure compared with retroMTA; GRADE not reported.

Calcium hydroxide (CH) vs Formocresol (FC)

Clinical failure · Children with extensive decay involving the dental pulp in primary teeth

Calcium hydroxide (CH) may leads to higher clinical failure compared with formocresol (FC) (low certainty).
