Medical vs open surgical PD catheter insertion

Late PD catheter failure (> 4 weeks following PD catheter insertion) · improving catheter function and clinical outcomes in PD patients

It is very uncertain whether medical changes late PD catheter failure (> 4 weeks following PD catheter insertion) compared with open surgical PD catheter insertion (very low certainty).

Preformed metal crown (PMC) vs Resin-modified glass-ionomer cement + composite resin (modified open-sandwich restoration)

Treatment failure (annual failure rate) · Children with carious primary molars treated by pulpotomy (vital pulp therapy)

Preformed metal crowns had a low annual failure rate (2.5%) in primary molars after pulpotomy, but the evidence is of low quality (single high-risk-of-bias split-mouth RCT; not GRADE-rated).
