    However the paper reported that the compomer offered better protection against decalcification when compared by a sign test (P = 0.0075) (Millett 2000). No effect estimate or confidence interval was reported.

Chemical cured composite vs Light-cured compomer (polyacid-modified composite resin)

Bracket (bond) failure · Patients with fixed orthodontic appliances attached to their teeth

Chemical cured composite showed no clear difference in bracket (bond) failure compared with compomer (polyacid-modified resin composite); GRADE not reported.
