Fluoride release of resin-modified GIC versus Compomers [October 17, 2016]

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. [‘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 searched, as well as the assessment...

Longevity of conventional GIC versus compomers in primary teeth [October 17, 2016]

Search result: Four clinical studies concerning restorations were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate no difference in the success rate between both types of material if high-viscosity GIC was compared against Compomers. [‘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 searched, as well as the assess...

Survival rate of ART restorations with high-viscosity GIC versus conventional RM-GIC [October 14, 2016]

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. [‘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 searched, as well as the assessment of precision and internal validity of results and th...

Retention of conventional GIC versus RM-GIC restorations [October 14, 2016]

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. [‘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 numb...

The current evidence for caries prevention and treatment in xeriostomic patients [October 12, 2016]

Search result: Ten controlled clinical studies relevant to the topic were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate: - GIC/RM-GIC has 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 12, 2016]

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, low viscosity GIC perform significantly worse than amalgam. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental literature and provide first overviews over existing cl...

Longevity of resin-modified GIC versus compomers in primary teeth [October 11, 2016]

Search result: Only three clinical studies were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate no difference in the longevity between both types of materials. [‘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 searched, as well as the assessment of precision and internal validity of results and thus do not replace...

Cariostatic effect of conventional GIC versus composite resin [October 11, 2016]

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. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic sear...

How differ coated high-viscosity GIC restorations (i.e. EQUIA) from non-coated in clinically relevant aspects? [October 10, 2016]

Search result: Three 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. [‘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 searched, as well as the assessment of precision and internal validity...

Cariostatic effect of conventional GIC versus compomers [October 08, 2016]

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. [‘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 data...

Cariostatic effect of resin-modified GIC (RM-GIC) versus compomers [October 08, 2016]

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. [‘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 searched, as well as the assessment of precision and internal validit...

Antibacterial effect of GIC versus composite resin [October 04, 2016]

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. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental literature and provide ...

Have Stannous ions Any Remineralising Effect on Dental Tissues? (Therapeutic)

Search result: 2 trials were found. Clinical outcomes: The results of the laboratory trials suggest that stannous ions have a remineralising (therapeutic) effect on dental tissue (particularly when stannous fluoride was compared to sodium fluoride). [‘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 searched, as ...

Has Zinc Any Antibiotic Effect on Oral Bacteria?

Search result: 12 trials were found. Clinical outcomes: The results of the mainly laboratory trials suggest that zinc has an inhibiting effect on oral bacteria. State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment.

What are the Clinical Merits of Chemically Cured Glass-ionomers (GIC) for Placing Cervical Tooth Restorations?

Search result: Only trials with low-viscosity GIC were found.

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 overvi...
