Conclusion The current best evidence indicates that a glass ionomer cement has a significantly lower risk of loss of a NCCL restoration compared to either a three-step etch- and -rinse or a two-step etch- and -rinse adhesive system ; a three-step etch- and -rinse adhesive system has a significantly lower risk of loss of a NCCL restoration compared to a two-step etch- and -rinse adhesive system .
No significant difference could be observed in the risk of loss of a tooth-colored NCCL restoration between a three-step etch- and -rinse adhesive system and either a two-step self-etch or a one-step self-etch adhesive system
Objectives The aim of this review was to assess the effect of different adhesive systems and tooth preparation on the retention of tooth-colored restorative material s  placed in non-carious cervical lesions ( NCCLs ) .
Clinical evaluation of a resin-modified glass ionomer adhesive system: results at five years.
One hundred non-carious , non-undercut cervical lesions were restored with Silux Plus or Estio LC and bonded with Fuji Bond LC . The restorations were evaluated yearly for retention and marginal discoloration . After five years , the overall retention rate was 96 % . Of the 41 restorations examined at five years , five had clinical ly evident marginal discoloration
