Fluoride release of resin-modified GIC versus Compomers [October 16, 2015]

Search result: Two clinical studies were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate a higher fluoride concentration in plaque surrounding teeth that were either bonded or restored with resin-modified GIC than with compomer. State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment.

Clinical outcomes: The results indicate no difference in the success rate between both types of material if high-viscosity GIC was compared against Compomers. State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental literature and provide first overviews o...

Survival rate of ART restorations with high-viscosity GIC versus conventional RM-GIC [October 12, 2015]

Search result: Only two clinical studies concerning restorations were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate no difference in the survival rate after 12 and 24 months. State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment.

Retention of conventional GIC versus RM-GIC restorations [October 11, 2015]

Search result: There is still a lack of studies to this topic and only two clinical studies concerning restorations were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate no difference in the retention rate after 12 and 42 months in Class V and Class II restorations, respectively. State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the d...

The current evidence for caries prevention and treatment in xeriostomic patients [October 11, 2015]

Search result: Ten controlled clinical studies relevant to the topic were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate: - GIC/RM-GIC have higher caries-preventive effects than composite/amalgam in cases were no additional fluoride was provided to patients have been shown; - Topical fluoride is indicated as caries-preventive; - Mineral containing supplements, with and without casein appear to be at least as effective as topical fluoride in caries prevention; - The effect of chlorhexidine ge...

Retention of GIC versus Amalgam as restorations [October 06, 2015]

Search result: There is still a lack of studies to this topic and only two clinical studies concerning restorations in the primary dentition were found. Clinical outcomes: The results of (conventional) high-viscosity GIC indicate no difference to amalgam while, lowviscosity GIC perform significantly worse than amalgam. State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM...

Longevity of resin-modified GIC versus compomers in primary teeth [October 06, 2015]

Search result: Only three clinical studies were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate no difference in the longevity between both types of materials. State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental literature and provide first overviews over existing clinical evidence but are limited in the number of databases ...

The Systematic Review initiative for Evidence-based Minimum Intervention in Dentistry (SYSTEM): activities 2015/16

In 2012, the Systematic Review initiative for Evidence-based Minimum Intervention in Dentistry (SYSTEM) has been accepted as research entity with programme status within the Faculty of Health Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. The aim of the initiative is to establish an applicable evidence-based body of clinical knowledge in the field of Minimum Intervention (MI) dentistry. This article provides a brief overview over SYSTEM’s activities during 2015/16.

Cariostatic effect of conventional GIC versus composite resin [October 05, 2015]

Search result: Seven clinical studies to topics concerning orthodontic bonding, root- and tooth restorations were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate a higher cariostatic effect of GIC for orthodontic bonding and tooth restorations in permanent teeth. No difference was found for tooth restorations in primary teeth when compared to fluoride containing composite and root restorations. State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further asses...

Coating of high-viscosity GIC [October 02, 2015]

Search result: Two prospective clinical controlled trials were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate that there may be a trend that coating can protect Fuji IX GP Extra against wear. State of evidence and recommendations: More clinical (prospective) randomised control trials (RCT) are needed. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental literature and provide first overviews over existing clinical evidence but a...

Cariostatic effect of conventional GIC versus compomers [October 03, 2015]

Search result: There is a lack of clinical studies to this topic: Only three clinical trials were found and traced. Clinical outcomes: The results are conflicting or suggest no difference between conventional GIC and Compomers in regard to their anticariogenic effects. State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental lit...

Cariostatic effect of resin-modified GIC (RM-GIC) versus compomers [October 03, 2015]

Search result: Twelve clinical trials were found and traced. Clinical outcomes: The overall results suggest no difference between RM-GIC and Compomers in regard to their anticariogenic effects. State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental literature and provide first overviews over existing clinical evidence but are ...

Antibacterial effect of GIC versus composite resin [October 03, 2015]

Search result: One clinical trial was found and traced concerning resin-modified GIC (RM-GIC). The material was Fuji II LC (compared to: Tetric Flow and Helioseal F). No trials were identified comparing conventional GIC (C-GIC) with composite resin. Clinical outcomes: The overall results suggest a higher antibacterial effect for RM-GIC up to 6 months. State of evidence and recommendations: All evidence from one clinical, controlled trial. This is still an emerging topic and the quality of ...

MI Paste PLUS effect to prevent white spot lesions associated with orthodontic treatment [November 03, 2015]

Search result: Three contradicting clinical trials were found so far. Clinical outcomes: Some results show that MI Paste Plus appears more effective in reducing white spot lesions than placebo and fluoride varnish after 3 months, while other results suggest that its effect appears to be equal to that of normal home care after 2 months. State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ ar...

What is the failure rate of GIC restorations placed after incomplete removal of infected carious dentine? [November 23, 2014]

Search result: Two clinical controlled trials were found. Clinical outcomes: The results suggest no difference in the failure rate of GIC restorations placed after either complete or incomplete removal of infected (soft) carious dentin.
