Abstract
Silver diammine fluoride (SDF) applied before a restoration may prevent recurrent caries; therefore, its effect on the bonding of restorative materials is contradictory. To assess through a systematic review and meta-analysis the influence of SDF on the bonding performance of adhesive materials to dentine. A systematic search was carried out in PubMed, Web of Science, LILACS, and Scopus. Studies comparing bond strength of adhesive systems or glass ionomer cement to SDF-treated and -untreated (control) dentine were included. Global analysis comparing the bond strength data was performed, separately for adhesive systems and glass ionomer cement, using RevMan5.1, with a random-effect model, at a 5% significance level. Eleven studies were included in the review and ten in the meta-analyses. Overall pooled effect for glass ionomer cement has shown no significant difference between the groups (Z=0.47; P=.64). SDF treatment significantly impairs the bonding of adhesive systems to dentine (Z=2.11; P=.03); this effect can be eliminated by the rinsing step (Z=0.85; P=.40). The previous application of SDF does not influence the dentine bond strength of glass ionomer cement, but compromises the bonding of adhesive systems.
