Dentine caries in permanent molars (24 months) · Children and adolescents (general population, aged under 20 years)
1 finding from 1 review
Inconclusive results: two studies slightly favoured glass ionomers (Liu 2014b OR 0.46 (0.23-0.91); Tagliaferro 2011) evaluating 426 children; one study (Songpaisan 1995) found no difference (MD DFS -0.18 (-0.39 to…

Implant probing pocket depth (PPD) · Adults (18 years or older) with one missing tooth in the aesthetic zone needing an implant-supported single crown
Metal-free implant abutments (zirconia) showed no clear difference in implant probing pocket depth (PPD) compared with metal implant abutments (titanium); GRADE not reported.

Bridge complications · Adults (18 years or older) needing a three-unit fixed dental prosthesis (FDP)
It is very uncertain whether metal-free FDPs (lithium disilicate) changes bridge complications compared with metal-ceramic FDPs (very low certainty).

Restoration failure (permanent, mature teeth) · Adults with root caries in permanent (mature) teeth
ART using H-GIC showed no clear difference in restoration failure (permanent, mature teeth) compared with conventional treatment using RM-GIC (with local anaesthetic); GRADE not reported.

Decayed primary surfaces at 3 years · Pregnant women (for preventing dental caries in the primary teeth of their children)
Fluoride supplementation (tablets, drops, lozenges or chewing gum) showed no clear difference in decayed primary surfaces at 3 years compared with placebo or no treatment; GRADE not reported.

Restoration failure (permanent, immature teeth) · Children and adolescents with dental caries (primary teeth and permanent immature teeth)
ART using glass ionomer cement (GIC) led to higher restoration failure (permanent, immature teeth) compared with conventional treatment using amalgam; GRADE not reported.

Dentine caries in permanent molars (24 months) · Children and adolescents (general population, aged under 20 years)
Resin-based fissure sealant (2nd/3rd/4th generation) probably leads to lower dentine caries in permanent molars (24 months) compared with no sealant (control/no treatment) (moderate certainty).
