How do HEMA free bonding agents compare to HEMA containing bonding agents in terms of clinical restoration survival? [November 16, 2017]

Search result: Three studies were found.

Clinical outcomes: The result indicates no differences between HEMA containing and HEMA-free bonding agents for most clinical outcomes after 3 and 5 years. In addition, restorations with HEMA-free agents appear to have some higher dentin retention after 5 years, while exhibiting more incisal marginal defects and discolorations after 3 years.

[‘Preliminary Systematic Literature Searches’ are based on SYSTEM’s periodic systematic searches of the dental literature and provide first overviews over existing clinical evidence but are limited in the number of databases searched, as well as the assessment of precision and internal validity of results and thus do not replace the need for a full systematic review report to the topic]
