Search result: Three clinical trials with a laboratory component were found.Clinical outcomes: There appears to be no difference in the pulp response between conventional GIC and CaOH-cement (CaOH is considered to be the gold standard in pulp treatment due to its high tissue supporting properties. Lack of difference between C-GIC and CaOH suggest high biocompatibility of C-GIC concerning pulp tissue).[‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic ...
Search result: One clinical trial was found.Clinical outcomes: There appears to be no difference in the success rate of both types.[‘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 the need for a ...
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.[‘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 th...
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. [‘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 ...
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 clin...
Search result: Five 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, while other results suggest that its effect appears to be equal to that of normal home care.[‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental literature and provide first overviews over existing clinical evi...
Search result: 5 clinical trials were found.Clinical outcomes: The results indicate that additional selective enamel etching does not improve the clinical performance of restorations.[‘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 validi...
Search result: 16 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.[‘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 a...
Search result: 10 articles reporting on 5 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 sam...
Search result: 11 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.[‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental literature and provide first overviews over existing clini...
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. 25 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: The results regarding the clinical efficacy of CPP-ACP in the prevention and treatment of dental caries...
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.[‘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 limite...
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). 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 existin...
Search result: 8 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). 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...
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. 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 well as the a...
