Comparative Evaluation of Bond Strength of Bioflx Crowns with Resinous and Nonresinous Luting Agents on Primary Teeth: An

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
Aims and background: Preserving primary teeth with crowns is vital in pediatric dentistry, especially for those compromised by dental caries, previous treatments, or malformations. To address the limitations of traditional esthetic crowns, Bioflx crowns have been available as a new, durable, esthetic, and self-adaptable preformed option for usage in pediatric dentistry. This Materials and methods: Bioflx blocks measuring 4 × 4 mm were luted on 45 extracted primary teeth using three different luting agents, based on which the 45 samples were divided into three groups: group I, glass ionomer cement (GIC) (GC Corp., Japan); group II, RelyX U200 (3M ESPE, Germany); and group III, ACTIVA™ (PulpDent, USA). A universal testing machine was used to measure the shear bond strength following the specimen thermocycling. Results: We found notable differences in the groups' shear bond strengths, with RelyX U200 and ACTIVA™ exhibiting much higher mean values (1.41 and 1.31 MPa, respectively) compared with GIC (0.32 MPa). Conclusion: Resin-based luting agents were found to be superior to non-resinous agents in the luting of Bioflx polymer to primary teeth. Clinical significance: This study highlights the significance of bond strength when using various resin-based and non-resin-based luting agents on an advanced polymer crown designed specifically for pediatric dentistry. The bonding of Bioflx crowns with primary dentition remains a largely unexplored area, and this study offers valuable insights that pediatric dentists can effectively apply in clinical practice.
