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 ) .
The quality of reporting of randomised controlled trials in dental public health.
OBJECTIVE To assess the quality of the reporting of r and omised controlled trials ( RCTs ) in dental public health journals . METHOD Electronic and h and search es were used to search for  RCTs published in the following three journals over the period 1993 - 2008 : Community Dental Health , Community Dentistry & Oral Epidemiology and the Journal of Public Health Dentistry . Exclusion criteria were applied . Each of the result ing papers was review ed and scored , according to 56 criteria , based on the CONSORT statement . RESULTS The search identified 48 papers . The average number of criteria present per article was 27.0 ( SD = 6.9 ) , with variation between journals as follows : Community Dental Health ( 27.7 ) ; Community Dentistry & Oral Epidemiology ( 27.4 ) ; Journal of Public Health Dentistry ( 23.2 ) . The average number of criteria present per article increased over the time period used . CONCLUSION There were inadequacies in the reporting of trials in dental public health journals . The quality of the reporting could be improved if the CONSORT statement was followed more closely
