Summary of Findings

Key results and quality assessments using GRADE methodology

Outcome Effect Participants Studies Certainty
True positives (tooth sites or surfaces with early enamel caries)
Estimates were compared across different classification systems. A separate review in this series explores the comparative accuracy of visual classification, fluorescence‐based, radiograph, and transillumination methods of detection and diagnosis
nan - - Not assessed
False negatives (tooth sites or surfaces incorrectly classified as not having early enamel caries)
Estimates were compared across different classification systems. A separate review in this series explores the comparative accuracy of visual classification, fluorescence‐based, radiograph, and transillumination methods of detection and diagnosis
nan - - Not assessed
True negatives (tooth sites or surfaces without early enamel caries)
Estimates were compared across different classification systems. A separate review in this series explores the comparative accuracy of visual classification, fluorescence‐based, radiograph, and transillumination methods of detection and diagnosis

GRADE Certainty of Evidence:
High Very confident in the effect estimate
Moderate Moderately confident in the effect estimate
Low Limited confidence in the effect estimate
Very Low Very little confidence in the effect estimate
