Clinical Performance of Non-Carious Cervical Restorations Restored with the “Sandwich Technique" and Composite Resin: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Abstract:

Purpose: To compare the retention rates of non-carious cervical restorations (NCCLs) constructed using the sandwich technique (a lining of glass-ionomer cement [GIC] or resin-modified glass-ionomer cement [RMGIC] and composite resin [CR]) with CR-only restorations. Materials and Methods: The search was performed in various databases, including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Gray literature was inspected, as were ongoing and unpublished abstracts from the IADR (1990-2017). Study quality was evaluated using the Cochrane Collaboration bias risk tool. Data from primary and secondary outcomes were meta-analyzed at 1-, 2-and 3-year follow-ups using the random effects model. The quality of the body of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. Results: Initially, a total of 3645 articles were selected. After selection by titles, abstracts, and full texts, 6 articles were …
