What are the Clinical Merits of Chemically Cured Glass-ionomers (GIC) for Placing Cervical Tooth Restorations?

Search result: Only trials with low-viscosity GIC were found.

Clinical outcomes: The results suggest that cervical restorations placed with chemically cured GICs have good survival rates when compared to composite but are less aesthetic.

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]
