Self-etch adhesive + acetone-based total-etch adhesive vs Non-rinse conditioner + 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 non-rinse conditioner + acetone-based total-etch adhesive (very low certainty).
