Search result: No direct clinical data to the topic could be found.
Clinical outcomes: However, one systematic review reported that ePTFE sutures cause clinically less inflammation than silk sutures in humans. One animal study (in rabbits) found less general inflammation from ePTFE sutures than Nylon sutures.

[‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental literature and provide first overviews over existing clinical evidence but are limited in the number of databases searched, as well as the assessment of precision and internal validity of results and thus do not replace the need for a full systematic review report to the topic]

Search result: One clinical trial was found and traced concerning resin-modified GIC (RM-GIC).
Clinical outcomes: The material was Fuji II LC (compared to: Tetric Flow and Helioseal F). No trials were identified comparing conventional GIC (C-GIC) with composite resin.

Search result: Twelve clinical trials were found and traced.
Clinical outcomes: The overall results suggest no difference between RM-GIC and Compomers in regard to their anticariogenic effects.

Search result: Five clinical trials were found and traced.
Clinical outcomes: The results are conflicting or suggest no difference between conventional GIC and Compomers in regard to their anticariogenic effects after 3-4 years.

Search result: Three prospective clinical controlled trials were found.
Clinical outcomes: The results indicate that there may be a trend that coating can protect Fuji IX GP Extra against wear.

Search result: Eight clinical studies to topics concerning orthodontic bonding, root- and tooth restorations were found.
Clinical outcomes: The results indicate a higher cariostatic effect of GIC for orthodontic bonding and tooth restorations in permanent teeth. No difference was found for tooth restorations in primary teeth when compared to fluoride containing composite and root restorations.
