Ion-releasing restorations (IRR): RMGIC, HVGIC, GIC, compomer/PMRC, giomer vs Composite resin (CR), including bulk-fill composite

Proper surface staining · Children receiving dental restorations (aged 4-11 years; primary teeth; Class I/II/V cavities)

No significant difference between IRR and CR in surface staining (moderate certainty; downgraded for inconsistency).

Ion-releasing restorations (IRR): RMGIC, HVGIC, GIC, compomer/PMRC, giomer vs Composite resin (CR), including bulk-fill composite

Adequate periodontal tissue · Children receiving dental restorations (aged 4-11 years; primary teeth; Class I/II/V cavities)

Uncertain whether IRR and CR differ in periodontal tissue outcomes (low certainty; downgraded for very serious inconsistency).

Conventional restorative treatment with compomer vs Other network treatments

Treatment success rate · Primary teeth with dentin caries lesions on occlusal surfaces

CRT with compomer ranked first for treatment success in the occlusal-surface network (low certainty).

Silver diamine fluoride twice annually vs Other network treatments

Caries lesion arrestment · Primary teeth with dentin caries lesions on occlusal and smooth surfaces

Silver diamine fluoride twice annually ranked first for caries lesion arrestment in the occlusal- and smooth-surface network (moderate certainty).

Hall technique vs Other network treatments

Treatment success rate · Primary teeth with dentin caries lesions on occlusoproximal surfaces

The Hall technique ranked first for treatment success in the occlusoproximal-surface network (low certainty).

Conventional restorative treatment with resin composite (CRT-RC) vs Sealing

Treatment success (caries lesion arrest or restoration survival) · Children with dentin caries lesions in the outer half of dentin on occlusal surfaces of primary teeth

Conventional restorative treatment with resin composite gave a higher treatment success rate than resin sealing for outer-half occlusal dentin caries in primary teeth (2 studies; low certainty).

Conventional restorative treatment with resin composite (CRT-RC) vs Sealing

Caries lesion arrestment · Children with dentin caries lesions in the outer half of dentin on occlusal surfaces of primary teeth

Resin sealing and conventional restorative treatment (resin composite) did not differ significantly for caries lesion arrestment in outer-half occlusal dentin caries of primary teeth (2 studies; low certainty).
