3.3.2 Reline Bond Strength The random‐effects synthesis of all 115 comparisons (Figure 4 ) demonstrated a large and highly significant reduction in reline‐to‐base bond strength for AM denture bases compared with SM ones (pooled SMD = –2.603, 95% CI –3.186 to –2.020; p < 0.001; τ 2 = 9.53; I 2 = 96.5%), meaning that AM bases consistently showed lower adhesion values than SM bases.
