Have stannous ions any remineralising effect on dental tissues? (Therapeutic) [October 30, 2018]
Author Steffen MickenautschSource: Journal of Minimum Intervention in Dentistry 13, pp 20 –21 (2020)More LessSearch result: 5 trials were found.
Clinical outcomes: The results of the laboratory trials appear contradictive particularly when stannous fluoride was compared to sodium fluoride).
State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment.
[‘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]

Do stannous ions inhibit demineralisation on dental tissues? (Preventive) [October 31, 2018]
Author Steffen MickenautschSource: Journal of Minimum Intervention in Dentistry 13, pp 22 –24 (2020)More LessSearch result: 13 trials were found.
Clinical outcomes: The results suggest that stannous ions may have a caries/demineralisation preventive effect (particularly when stannous fluoride was compared to sodium fluoride).
State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment.

What is the clinical longevity of lithium disilicate ceramics? [October 31, 2018]
Author Steffen MickenautschSource: Journal of Minimum Intervention in Dentistry 13, pp 25 –28 (2020)More LessSearch result: 6 trials and 6 systematic reviews were found.
Clinical outcomes: The results suggest that:(i) for lithium disilicate single crowns, the existing evidence indicates excellent short-term survival rates, but the evidence for medium-term survival is limited;(ii) for lithium disilicate fixed dental prostheses, the evidence for short-term survival is fair, although limited, but the evidence for medium-term survival is not promising;(iii) there is contradicting evidence whether the majority of failures occurs in the posterior or anterior region;(iv) the marginal precision for lithium disilicate restorations compared to conventional metal-ceramic and zirconium dioxide crowns is lower;(v) that prosthetic material selection has no influence on mid- and long-term survival of implants restored with single crowns and fixed partial dentures or on prosthetic survival rates.State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment.

Clinical merits of restorative treatment of root (cervical) caries lesions [November 5, 2018]
Author Steffen MickenautschSource: Journal of Minimum Intervention in Dentistry 13, pp 29 –31 (2020)More LessSearch result: 7 trials were found.
Clinical outcomes: The results suggest that various composites (nanohybrid, flowable) show good results. Etch-and-rinse adhesives appear to be superior to all-in-one adhesives, while compomers and RMGICs appear to be less effective than composites.
State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment.

Clinical effect of MTA cement for pulp capping [November 5, 2018]
Author Steffen MickenautschSource: Journal of Minimum Intervention in Dentistry 13, pp 32 –35 (2020)More LessSearch result: 6 systematic reviews and 12 clinical trials were found.
Clinical outcomes: The results suggest MTA to be effective for pulp capping.
State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment.

What differences exist in overall enamel thickness, mineral content and shade between permanent anterior teeth of Caucasian versus Asian populations? [November 6, 2018]
Author Steffen MickenautschSource: Journal of Minimum Intervention in Dentistry 13, pp 36 –37 (2020)More LessSearch result: Three studies were found.
Clinical outcomes: The result indicates that Asian anterior teeth may be of comparably median size; of similar enamel thickness as other ethnic groups and tend to have C2, C3, C5 incisal translucency patterns. No information was found on mineral content differences.
State of evidence and recommendations: The quality of the existing evidence requires further assessment.
