Conventional GIC vs Compomer and glass carbomer

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth

No comparative effect estimate was reported; cumulative failure was highest for glass carbomer.

1 finding from 1 review

High-viscosity glass-ionomer cement (HVGIC) restoration (conventional restorative approach) vs Resin composite restoration

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth

No comparative effect estimate was reported; composite resin outperformed HVGIC in the review narrative.

1 finding from 1 review

HVGIC with chlorhexidine cavity disinfectant vs HVGIC without cavity disinfectant

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth

No comparative effect estimate was reported; cavity disinfectant did not affect success in the review narrative.

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth

No comparative effect estimate was reported; failure rates were tabulated by arm.

1 finding from 1 review

Flowable bulk-fill composite resin vs Light-cured compomer (polyacid-modified composite resin)

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth

No comparative effect estimate was reported; both arms had 0% failure.

1 finding from 1 review

Composite resin with a beveled cavity margin vs Composite resin with no bevel (butt-joint margin)

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth

No comparative effect estimate was reported; no bevel had twice the failure rate in the review narrative.

1 finding from 1 review

Hall technique vs Compomer restoration or non-restorative caries treatment

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth

No comparative effect estimate was reported; the review reports this three-arm comparison but tabulates only compomer failure.

Metal-free single crowns (full-contour zirconia) vs Composite strip crown

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth

No comparative effect estimate was reported; failure rates were 3.3% and 15%.

1 finding from 1 review

Composite resin with etch-and-rinse (total-etch) adhesion vs Composite resin with self-etch adhesion (same universal adhesive)

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth

No comparative effect estimate was reported; etch-and-rinse had a higher tabulated failure rate.

1 finding from 1 review

Composite resin vs High-viscosity GIC and bulk-fill composite resins

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth

No comparative effect estimate was reported; tabulated failure rates ranged from 0% to 2.9%.

1 finding from 1 review

Glass carbomer vs Resin-modified glass-ionomer cement + composite resin (modified open-sandwich restoration)

Restoration failure · Children with carious primary teeth

No comparative effect estimate was reported; glass carbomer had the highest tabulated failure range.
