Restoration longevity of conventional high - viscosity GIC restorations versus direct composite filings [November 12, 2016]

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 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 full systematic review report to the topic]
