Search result: Two systematic reviews and 5 additional trial reports were found. Clinical outcomes: While the trial reports indicate no significant difference, the systematic reviews suggest 2-step systems to be superior to 1-step systems. [‘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 th...
Search result: Three studies were found. Clinical outcomes: The result indicates no differences between HEMA containing and HEMA-free bonding agents for most clinical outcomes after 3 and 5 years. In addition, restorations with HEMA-free agents appear to have some higher dentin retention after 5 years, while exhibiting more incisal marginal defects and discolorations after 3 years.

Search result: 2 systematic reviews and 9 clinical trials were found. Clinical outcomes: The results suggest MTA to be effective for pulp capping.

Search result: 7 trials were found. Clinical outcomes: The results suggest that various composites (nanohybrid, flowable) show good results. Etch-and-rinse adhesives appear to be superior to all-in-one adhesives, while compomers and resin-modified glass-ionomers appear to be less effective than composites. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental literature and provide first overviews over existing clinical evidenc...
Search result: 5 trials and 6 systematic reviews were found. . Clinical outcomes: The results suggest that: (i) for lithium disilicate single crowns, the existing evidence indicates excellent short-term survival rates, but the evidence for medium-term survival is limited; (ii) for lithium disilicate fixed dental prostheses, the evidence for short-term survival is fair, although limited, but the evidence for medium-term survival is not promising; (iii) there is contradicting evidence whether...
Search result: 11 trials were found. Clinical outcomes: The results suggest that stannous ions may have a caries/demineralisation preventive effect (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 well as the assessment of preci...
Search result: 5 trials were found. Clinical outcomes: The results of the laboratory trials appear contradictory particularly when stannous fluoride was compared to sodium fluoride).

Search result: 9 trials were found. Clinical outcomes: The results of the mainly laboratory trials suggest that stannous ions have an inhibiting effect on oral bacteria (particularly when stannous fluoride was compared to sodium fluoride).

Search result: 13 trials were found. Clinical outcomes: The results of the mainly laboratory trials suggest that zinc has an inhibiting effect on oral bacteria.

Search result: Only trials with low-viscosity GIC were found. Clinical outcomes: The results suggest that cervical restorations placed with chemically cured GICs have good survival rates when compared to composite but are less aesthetic.

Search result: No clinical evidence concerning adverse effects of aluminium, barium or strontium released from GICs were found. Clinical outcomes: A review of the relevant laboratory literature, including a conservative calculation of any potential adverse clinical effect due to aluminium content, concludes that the amount of aluminum that could be leached into the body from glass-ionomer dental fillings is well below the permitted daily dose and almost certainly too small to have a measu...
Search result: Three articles could be found. Clinical outcomes: Capsule mixed HVGIC restorations appear to be superior to that of hand mixed. The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment.

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.

Search result: Four clinical controlled trials were found. Clinical outcomes: The results show that composite resin performs less satisfactory when compared to amalgam.

Search result: One article, reporting on 2 clinical trials, was identified, concerning plaque pH-decrease after sucrose challenge: (a) comparison of CPP-ACP containing paste with no paste; (b) comparison of CPP-ACP containing paste with placebo. Clinical outcomes: The results show a significant reduction in plaque pH fall after sucrose challenge with CPP-ACP containing paste. The results of both reported trials need to be regarded with caution due to: unclear reporting of study methods an...
