- Cells are empy if sample size is less than 10. Failure is defined as a restoration or extraction after application. Sedative fillings are not considered to be failures if they occur within 70 days of initial application. Survival is defined as a patient that returned 180 or more days after application and had no restoration or extraction. Equality of Survivor Tests for Overall Rate Between SDF Applications: Wilcoxon Test, 79 (2 df), p < 0.000; Log-Rank Test, 91.5 (2 df), p < 0.000)
