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.

Abstract

purposeFluoride-containing adhesives for enamel sealing are commonly used for the prevention of white spot lesions during fixed orthodontic treatment. Thus, we examined whether enamel sealing with L.E.D. ProSeal® (Reliance Orthodontic Products Inc., Itasca, IL, USA) before bracket bonding increases the rate of bond failure during orthodontic treatment.

methodsIn 20 adolescents (11-16 years, 10 male/10 female) at the start of fixed therapy, self-ligating SmartClip™SL3 metal brackets (3M Unitek, Monovia, CA, USA) were bonded to cleaned and conditioned (40% H

resultsCumulative bond failure was higher for enamel sealing before bonding from 6 months onward reaching significance at 12 months (34/200) compared to sealing after bonding (24/200): p = 0.038; Cramér's V = 0.488; odds ratio (OR) = 1.5; relative risk (RR) = 1.4. The higher loss rate was limited to the lower arch, but evident within 3 months reaching significance at 9 and 12 months (p = 0.019/0.011, V = 0.636/0.630; OR = 1.7/1.75, RR = 1.5/1.6). In general, cumulative bond failure at 12 months was higher in the lower arch, but this was only significant for teeth sealed before bonding (p = 0.001, V = 0.303, OR = 3.4, RR = 2.8).

conclusionsEnamel sealing with L.E.D. ProSeal® should be performed after bracket bonding to prevent increased bond failure and bracket loss in the lower dental arch.
