Immediate dentin sealing (IDS) involves applying an adhesive system to dentin directly after
tooth preparation, before impression. This was considered an alternate to delayed dentin
sealing (DDS), a technique in which hybridization is performed following the provisional
phase and just before the indirect restoration luting procedure. This study aimed to compare
the bond strength of restorations to dentin of the IDS and the DDS techniques throughout a
systematic review and meta-analysis. The following PICOS framework was used: population …
