Selective caries removal (SCR) + composite resin vs Complete caries removal (CCR) + composite resin

Treatment failure (annual failure rate) · Children with deep dentine caries in primary molars restored with composite resin (indirect pulp treatment; pulpotomy only if pulp exposed…

Complete caries removal with composite resin had an annual failure rate of 6.8% in primary molars (single high-risk-of-bias RCT; low quality of evidence; not GRADE-rated).

Summary of findings for selective ß2‐adrenergic agonist vs no tocolytic agent, whilst awaiting emergency delivery

Fetal or neonatal mortality · women with fetal distress for whom the decision had been made to delivery by emergency caesarean section

Summary of findings for selective ß2‐adrenergic agonist showed no clear difference in fetal or neonatal mortality compared with no tocolytic agent, whilst awaiting emergency delivery (low certainty).

Apgar score less than 7 at 5 minutes · women with fetal distress for whom the decision had been made to delivery by emergency caesarean section

Summary of findings for selective ß2‐adrenergic agonist showed no clear difference in 5‐minute Apgar score < 7 compared with no tocolytic agent, whilst awaiting emergency delivery (low certainty).

Summary of findings for selective ß2‐adrenergic agonist vs no tocolytic agent, whilst awaiting emergency delivery

Abnormal FHR as defined by trial authors (FHR tracing not improved) · women with fetal distress for whom the decision had been made to delivery by emergency caesarean section

Summary of findings for selective ß2‐adrenergic agonist probably leads to lower abnormal FHR as defined by trial authors (FHR tracing not improved) compared with no tocolytic agent, whilst awaiting emergency delivery (moderate certainty).

Selective carious tissue removal (selective excavation, SE) vs Hall Technique (sealing with a preformed metal crown)

Failure of therapy · Children and/or adults with permanent or primary teeth, vital (sensitive) pulps, and cavitated or dentine carious lesions conventionally…

It is very uncertain whether selective carious tissue removal (selective excavation, SE) changes failure of therapy compared with hall Technique (sealing with a preformed metal crown) (very low certainty).
