Outcome this study informs	Pooled effect	Evidence	Certainty
Arrest of dentine caries (proportion of surfaces arrested) Professionally applied 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) vs Active dentine caries at baseline (single-arm before vs after proportion)	Proportion 0.659 [0.412, 0.907]	5 studies	Ungraded
Reversal / remineralisation of early enamel caries 6% sodium fluoride with 6% calcium fluoride varnish vs No treatment	One study (Xhemnica 2008) reported a significant reversal of early enamel caries using 6% NaF with 6% calcium fluoride compared with no treatment; this study was excluded from the meta-analysis.	1 study	Ungraded
