Minimally invasive caries removal (MIT): selective removal to soft dentin, self-limiting chemomechanical removal, or partial/incomplete caries removal vs Conventional caries removal (CT): selective removal to firm dentin, stepwise excavation, or complete caries removal

Pulp exposure rate · Patients with deep carious lesions in permanent (mainly posterior) teeth

Minimally invasive caries removal was associated with a lower mean pulp exposure rate than conventional removal (1.2% vs 8.1%), but the difference was not statistically significant (Wilcoxon, p = 0.068); certainty of evidence was not graded.

nCaF2 primer vs Control Transbond primer

Enamel demineralization (DIAGNOdent score) · Orthodontic patients of any age with fixed braces (new DLs assessed at debond)

nCaF2 primer favored lower demineralization scores, but certainty was not graded.

Transbond Plus self etching primer (3M Unitek) vs Conventional three-step bonding system (3M Transbond XT)

White spot lesion incidence · Orthodontic patients of any age with fixed braces (new DLs assessed at debond)

The self-etch primer system had higher WSL incidence than the conventional system, with certainty not graded.

nCaF2 primer vs Control Transbond primer

White spot lesions assessed by laser fluorescence (DIAGNOdent) · Patients undergoing fixed orthodontic (fixed appliance) treatment (adolescents and adults, ages 12 to 35)

A single small split-mouth RCT found the nCaF2-containing primer reduced demineralization (DIAGNOdent) but showed no significant clinical white spot lesion difference at debonding (ungraded).
