Objectives
To assess whether GIC have releases more fluoride than composite resin (with fluoride).
Search strategy
The trials were identified from a search of the PubMed database on: September 01, 2009 using the terms: Search ("Fluorides"[Mesh] AND "Glass Ionomer Cements"[Mesh]) AND "Composite Resins"[Mesh]
Inclusion criteria
All progressive 2-arm in-vitro, in-situ or in-vivo trials; with relevance to review question including computable data; published in English.
Exclusion criteria:
No computable continuous data for both, test- and control group.
Data collection and analysis
The systematic literature search found 317 trials of which 37 were identified to be in line with the inclusion criteria. Of these, 25 in-vitro trials were accepted for data extraction. From the reviewed trials 163 individual datasets were extracted and analyzed.
Main results and Authors' conclusions
The results show that cured GIC appears to release significantly more fluoride (p<0.05) than composite resin materials with fluoride content.
