Ungraded means an effect was reported without a GRADE rating; it is not a gap. No studies means the review found nothing to answer the question. The six categories are a display order, not a score.

Review question

ElementPlanned (methods)Found (results)
PopulationAdults (16 years or over) with one or more defective resin composite restoration(s) in a molar or premolar tooth/teeth treated by like-for-like replacement (i.e. replacement with resin composite) or like-for-like repair (i.e. repair with resin composite) or both; a resin composite restoration may be considered defective as a result of secondary caries, chipping or fracture of the resin composite, chipping or fracture of the tooth, or the presence of marginal defect(s); participants in whom a tooth undergoes further restoration or extraction for reasons not connected with the repair/replacement restoration were not includedNo eligible studies were identified for inclusion
InterventionRepair of a defective resin composite restoration in a permanent molar or premolar tooth with resin compositeNo eligible studies were identified for inclusion
ComparisonReplacement of a defective resin composite restoration in a permanent molar or premolar tooth with resin compositeNo eligible studies were identified for inclusion
OutcomesSuccess or failure of restoration (USPHS criteria); Further restoration required (repair, restoration, crown/inlay, root filling); Presence of clinical symptoms (pain, swelling, pulpitis, abscess formation); Extraction of tooth due to decay; Perioperative or postoperative pain or discomfort; Patient satisfaction (patient satisfaction or aesthetic scales); Adverse effectsNo eligible studies were identified for inclusion
Study designsRandomised controlled trials (RCTs), including split-mouth studiesNo eligible studies were identified for inclusion
TimingMedium-term (less than five years) or long-term (five years and above); time-to-event (survival) data where availableNo eligible studies were identified for inclusion
