HVGIC bilayer insertion and surface coating protocols vs Alternative HVGIC insertion and surface coating protocols

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth

No comparative effect estimate was reported; bilayer placement and nanofilled coating were described as improving survival.

Multiple-surface ART restoration using high-viscosity glass ionomer vs Single-surface ART with high-viscosity GIC

Restoration failure · Children (2-9 years) with caries in posterior primary teeth

Multi-surface ART restorations had a high reported mean annual failure rate (17%; ungraded).

Single-surface ART restoration using high-viscosity glass ionomer vs Multi-surface ART with high-viscosity GIC

Restoration failure · Children (2-9 years) with caries in posterior primary teeth

Single-surface ART restorations had a low reported mean annual failure rate (about 5%; ungraded).

ART using resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RM-GIC) vs Conventional treatment using RM-GIC

Restoration failure (permanent, mature dentition; root surfaces) · Older adults with root caries in permanent (mature) teeth (mean age 75 years)

It is very uncertain whether ART using resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RM-GIC) changes restoration failure (permanent, mature dentition; root surfaces) compared with conventional treatment using RM-GIC (very low certainty).

Partial caries removal (single stage; residual dentinal caries sealed into the tooth definitively) vs Complete caries removal

Restoration failure · Patients with carious teeth, affecting any tooth surface(s), in unrestored primary and permanent teeth

It is very uncertain whether partial caries removal (single stage; residual dentinal caries… changes failure of restorations compared with complete caries removal (very low certainty).

No dentinal caries removal (caries sealed under a preformed metal crown or restoration without removing dentinal caries) vs Complete caries removal

Restoration failure · Patients with carious teeth, affecting any tooth surface(s), in unrestored primary and permanent teeth

No dentinal caries removal (caries sealed under a preformed metal… probably leads to lower failure of restorations compared with complete caries removal (moderate certainty).
