a Forest plot of comparison: 5,000 ppm F– vs. 1,100–1,450 ppm F– dentifrice, for outcome: surface texture at 6–8 months follow-up time. b Forest plot of comparison: sodium diamine fluoride (SDF) vs. placebo varnish, for outcome: DMFRS (only new RCLs) at 24–36 months follow-up time. c Forest plot of comparison: chlorhexidine (CHX) vs. placebo varnish, for outcome: DMFRS (only new RCLs) at 21–36 months follow-up time. Updated quantitative meta-analyses for use of 5,000 ppm toothpaste, SDF or CHX varnish against standard or placebo respectively adopted from [Wierichs and Meyer-Lueckel, 2015] and presented in a corrected form. decayed, missing, filled root surfaces or new RCLs were used to calculate mean differences and 95% CIs for studies using the same units. Surface texture scores were used to calculate risk ratio and 95% CI.
