Hypothesis
What are the effective bonding protocols for treating enamel and dentin disorders?
Conclusion
Using an etch-and-rinse technique significantly improves the bonding strength for fluorosis and molar-incisor hypomineralization.
Supporting Evidence
- 27 peer-reviewed studies were included in the review.
- The study provides practical recommendations for dentists.
- Three strong recommendations for bonding techniques were identified.
Takeaway
This study helps dentists know the best ways to stick fillings to teeth with problems like fluorosis and other enamel issues.
Methodology
A systematic review of 27 studies was conducted to evaluate bonding protocols for enamel and dentin disorders.
Potential Biases
The risk of bias was assessed using the GRADE approach.
Limitations
The data extracted from the studies were highly heterogeneous, and many studies were in vitro rather than in vivo.
Participant Demographics
The studies included both adults and children affected by enamel and dentin disorders.
