No overall effect was revealed in the meta-analyses , meaning that no influence of the  ER or SE strategy on POS .
SIGNIFICANCE The type of adhesive strategy ( ER or SE ) for posterior resin composite restorations does not influence the risk and intensity of POS .
OBJECTIVES A systematic review and meta- analysis were performed on the risk and intensity of postoperative sensitivity ( POS ) in posterior resin composite restorations bonded with self-etch ( SE ) and etch- and -rinse ( ER ) adhesives .
Clinical evaluation of Solitaire-2 restorations placed in United Kingdom general dental practices: 1-year report.
OBJECTIVE Packable composites are a comparatively recent addition to the dentist 's armamentarium , Solitaire-2 being an example of this type of material . This paper reports the performance of 100 restorations formed in Solitaire-2 in conjunction with the Gluma Solid Bond system and Gluma One Bond bonding systems , in Class I and II cavity restorations in permanent teeth , placed in the practice s of five members of the Product Research and Evaluation by Practitioners ( PREP ) Panel , a group of United Kingdom-based dental practitioners who are prepared to undertake research projects in their practice s. METHOD AND MATERIAL S Five members of the PREP Panel were each requested to place 20 Solitaire-2 restorations .  These restorations were review ed at 1 year by a trained and calibrated evaluator , and the PREP panel member who had placed the restorations . RESULTS A total of 88 restorations ( 33 Class I , 55 Class II ) in 49 patients ( mean age 43 years ) were review ed at 1 year . One Class II restoration ( a large mesio-occlusodistal restoration ) had been replaced at 10 months after a fracture was detected across the distal box . The remaining 87 ( 99 % ) of the restorations were intact with no secondary caries detected . CONCLUSION Ninety-nine percent of the Solitaire-2 restorations , placed in general dental practice conditions in conjunction with the Gluma Solid Bond system and Gluma One Bond bonding systems , were found to be performing satisfactorily at 1 year
