Patient‐reported health information interventions vs comparisons to improve professional performance

Patient satisfaction Number of satisfied patients · general patient population, "at risk" patient population and patient population with a specific condition or disease

It is very uncertain whether patient‐reported health information interventions changes patient satisfaction Number of satisfied patients (0‐3 months compared with comparisons to improve professional performance (very low certainty).

Resin-based fissure sealant (2nd/3rd/4th generation) vs No sealant (control/no treatment)

Dentine caries in permanent molars (24 months) · Children and adolescents (general population, aged under 20 years)

Resin-based fissure sealant (2nd/3rd/4th generation) probably leads to lower dentine caries in permanent molars (24 months) compared with no sealant (control/no treatment) (moderate certainty).
