High
Confidence in the effect estimate is limited.

To arrest or reverse non-cavitated carious lesions on occlusal surfaces of permanent teeth, the expert panel recommends: Select all that apply. ~resin infiltration + 38% SDF application yearly ~0.2% sodium fluoride mouthrinse, once a day. ~1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride gel (application every 3-6 months) ~prioritize the use of sealants + 5% sodium fluoride varnish (application every 3-6 months)
~0.2% sodium fluoride mouthrinse, once a day .~1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride gel (application every 3-6 months) ~prioritize the use of sealants + 5% sodium fluoride varnish (application every 3-6 months)
To arrest or reverse non-cavitated and cavitated carious lesions on root surfaces of permanent teeth, the expert panel suggests. Select all that apply. ~10-12% SDF application monthly ~1% chlorhexidine + 1% thymol varnish (application every 3-6 months). ~prioritize the use of 5,000 ppm fluoride (1.1% sodium fluoride) toothpaste or gel (at least once per day) over 5% sodium fluoride varnish (application every 3-6 months). ~38% SDF + potassium iodide solution (annual application).

To arrest advanced cavitated carious lesions on any coronal surface of permanent teeth, the expert panel suggests: Select all that apply. ~5% sodium fluoride varnish application once a month for 12 months ~prioritize the use of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution ~38% SDF solution four times a year ~application of 12% SDF once a week for 3 weeks
~5% sodium fluoride varnish application once a month for 12 months ~prioritize the use of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution
