Evidence-based assessment of tooth-colored restorations in proximal lesions of primary molars

Abstract

UNLABELLED: The purpose of this study was, using evidence-based dentistry, to compare the successes of glass ionomer cement (GIC), resin-modified GIC (RmGIC), composite resin (CR), and polyacid-modified composite resin (PAMCR) in primary molar proximal lesions. METHODS: The PICOT question was: P: in primary molar proximal lesions; I: does the use of 1 material (GIC, RmGIC, CR, or PAMCR); C: compared with the remaining materials; O (Outcome): result in higher success rates; T: when followed for at least 1 year? Relevant articles (256) were identified from databases then sieved by titles, abstracts, and full texts. Following exclusions, 36 dinical trials-including 25 randomized clinical trials..
