Search result: One clinical trial was found. Clinical outcomes: There appears to be no difference in the success rate of both types.The current level of clinical evidence to this topic is still limited in quantity and quality and more trials are needed in order to confirm these results.

Search result: Five clinical trials were found. Clinical outcomes: There appears to be no difference in the survival rate of both types of restorations. Post-operative sensitivity appears to be reduced for a short-time period after restoration placement when a GIC liner is used.The current level of clinical evidence to this topic is still limited in quantity and quality and more trials are needed in order to confirm these results. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based...
Search result: Two clinical trials were found. Clinical outcomes: There appears to be no difference in the survival rate of both types of restorations after 2 years. The current level of clinical evidence to this topic is still limited in quantity and quality and more trials are needed in order to confirm these results. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental literature and provide first overviews over existing cl...
Search result: Four clinical trials were found. The limited number of clinical trials is surprising considering that the topic of GIC/Composite sandwich restorations was very popular 20 years ago. However, the bulk of research studies appeared to be limited to a very large number of laboratory (in-vitro) trials, only. Although important to clarify material characteristics, laboratory trials are unable to provide information how well these restorations really perform in the clinic, particu...
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. The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systemat...
Search result: 4 clinical trials were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate that additional selective enamel etching does not improve the clinical performance of restorations. 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 searched, as...
Search result: 15 clinical trials were found. Clinical outcomes: Minor or no improvements are reported when selective enamel etching was used. Selective enamel etching may not pose a hazard in terms of postoperative hypersensitivity. The current level of clinical evidence to this topic is still limited in quantity and quality and more trials are needed in order to confirm these results. [‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of...
Search result: Nine articles reporting on 4 clinical trials after different follow-up periods were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate no difference in retention and anatomic form of restorations after 1 – 3 years. Marginal adaptation appears to be superior for etch-and-rinse systems after 1 – 2 years and no difference was found after 3 years. Marginal discoloration is significantly more observed for (1-step) self-etch systems. Post-operative sensitivity was the same for bot...
Search result: Nine clinical studies were found. Clinical outcomes: The results suggest efficacy of resin-infiltration technique to stop caries progression and to improve aesthetic appearance of white spot lesions (WSL). However, discomfort levels appear to be higher than with other noninvasive interventions.

Search result: As the topic of CPP-ACP is of high-priority a more intensive systematic literature search was conducted in order to produce this evidence sheet. 22 clinical studies were found. In-situ studies, as well as studies including ACP/casein materials not covered by the Recaldent technology, as included in the original systematic review, were not included. Clinical outcomes: Preventive effect: The results regarding the clinical efficacy of CPP-ACP in the prevention and treatment of...
Search result: Only one clinical study was found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate no difference in the caries preventive effect between both materials as fissure sealants in permanent teeth. The retention rate of RM-GIC in pits and fissures was higher than for conventional GIC.

Search result: Only two clinical studies were found. Clinical outcomes: The results indicate that GICs release more fluoride under clinical conditions than fluoride containing composite resin.

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.

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.
