Do glass ionomer cements prevent caries lesions in margins of restorations in primary teeth? A systematic review and meta-analysis

摘要

Background. Fluoride released from glass ionomer cements (GICs) is capable of preventing caries lesions. However, the preventive effect in margins of occlusal and occlusoproximal restorations have not been proved. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of GIC to prevent caries lesions in margins of occlusal and occlusoproximal restorations in primary teeth compared with that of other restorative materials.
