Filter by:With limited evidence-based information in literature about using giomer based pit and fissure sealant(BeautiSealant) in non-cavitated pits and fissures in permanent molars, it is beneficial to evaluate the newly introduced material using a randomized controlled clinical trial to test the null hypothesis that this new pit and fissure sealant (BeautiSealant, Shoufu, USA). will have the same effect as resin based pit and fissure sealant (UltraSeal XT™ plus, Ultradent, USA) regarding retention rate and caries preventive effect.
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical retention rates, marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration and secondary caries formation of two different types of resin-modified glass ionomers (Fuji® II LC; Clinpro™ XT Varnish) and giomer-containing fissure sealant materials (Beautifil Flow) with glass ionomer-containing fissure sealant material (Fuji Triage®) used on newly erupted non-carious first permanent molars as a fissure sealant. The study included 384 teeth belonging to 182 children, aged between 5 to 9 years old, who have two newly erupted mandibular permanent first molars.
This study was conducted on 44 (19 girls and 25 boys) patients presenting 132 permanent first molars, who applied for oral examination to Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Pediatric Dentistry. The patients involved in the study were aged between 7-11 years who had fully erupted permanent first molars, which were suitable for non-invasive fissure sealant application (narrow, deep fissures).
Despite numerous techniques for enamel protection, occlusal caries still remains a problem. Sealing pits and fissures is considered to be an effective way of preventing caries development. Glass-ionomer cements are mainly recommended for pits and fissures sealing for two reasons. First, they are less susceptible to moisture which allows their use in noncooperable children or in partially erupted teeth where isolation could be a problem, and secondly, due to their potential to act as a fluoride reservoir making enamel more resistant to demineralisation. The purpose of the study is to clinically examine the caries-preventive effect of a glass-ionomer material for fissure protection in newly erupted permanent molars in children with low, moderate, and high caries-risk.
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to compare caries prevention of a conventional resin-based sealant and a glass-ionomer sealant placed on occlusal pits and fissures over a one year period in a high caries children group. Additionally the concentration of Fluoride in saliva was evaluated.
