"Fazit
"Die Palette der zur Verfügung stehenden Vollkeramiken ist breit gefächert, sodass von der Einzelzahnrestauration bis zur Brücke schon nahezu jeder festsitzende Zahnersatz technisch realisiert werden kann.
"Es darf jedoch nicht unerwähnt bleiben, dass für weitspannige Brücken noch keine gesicherte ***Datenlage*** existiert, was die klinische Langzeitbewährung der Restaurationen betrifft. Auf diesem Gebiet ist noch eine gewisse Pionierarbeit zu leisten."
The end of this article about dental porcelains and ceramics. I haven't got the foggiest idea what a "Datenlage" is. Have the strange feeling I've asked about this word before, but can find nothing in the Glossary Search, so I guess I haven't. Anyway, surely the -lage bit is redundant and they just mean plain old Daten! TIA for any light you can shed on this obscure word.

Comment: "Thanks everyone. I'm going to go with "findings", here, and Steffen's phrasing was quite helpful also. But I've decided to include a couple of Cilian's suggestions in the glossary too. Thanks once again for your assistance."

documentation
I understand it to mean sth. like 'data status' (or 'verified findings' - to account for 'gesichert' too) so maybe one of the following:
documentation
substantiation
confirmation

Originally asked about it as "DL". Would still appreciate some fresh input though.
