Which is the best adhesive system for primary tooth enamel? A systematic review and network meta-analysis of bond strength data.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Evaluate the bond strength performance of the different types of adhesive systems to the primary tooth enamel.

Methods

This study was registered in the Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/YURB4). A two-stage literature search was conducted by two independent reviewers on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and gray literature to identify in vitro studies evaluating the bond strength of different adhesive systems to primary tooth enamel. The risk of bias was evaluated with the QUIN tool. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the bond strength at 24 h.

Results

The final sample was composed of 14 articles. The 2-bottle universal adhesive system with phosphoric acid etching (PAE) was statistically similar to the
