Effect of silver diamine fluoride on adhesion and microleakage of a pit and fissure sealant to tooth enamel: in vitro trial.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo identify the effect of silver diamine fluoride in adhesion and microleakage of a pit and fissure sealant to tooth enamel.
methodsAn in vitro study including 120 human molars without caries, and caries grade 1 was performed. Molars were randomly divided into four groups. Occlusal surfaces of groups 2 and 4 were sealed. In groups 1 and 3 silver diamine fluoride (SDF) was placed in the occlusal surface and then molars were sealed according to manufacturer's instructions. Afterwards, all groups were submitted to the adhesion test. Groups 1 and 2 were placed in a forming cylinder and their roots were submerged in polymethyl methacrylate after that they were stored in deionised water (37 °C ± 1). Subsequently, they were tested by applying a tractional load (Instron machine, speed cross of 1 mm/min). Sealant adhesion was evaluated through: Resistance to the detachment (MPa), residues of sealant area (mm
resultsOf the samples without SDF 18.1 and 23.0% of the sealant remaining and of the samples with SDF present 100% of sealant remaining on enamel. Samples with SDF obtained an average in the test of detachment of 6.89 ± 3.09 MPa, whereas in the group without SDF the average obtained was 6.42 ± 3.35 MPa. Differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.579). Most of the samples not treated with SDF (81.6%) showed microleakage than those treated with SDF in which 47% presented microleakage.
conclusionsThere is an improvement in the retention properties of a fissure sealant applied after treatment with silver diamine fluoride. The application of fissure sealant to improve the aesthetics of teeth treated with SDF is recommended.
