Caries progression in non-cavitated fissures after infiltrant application: a 3-year follow-up of a randomized controlled clinical trial

Abstract: Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of a conservative treatment to prevent the progression of caries using an infiltrant on non-cavitated pit and fissures.Material and Methods This controlled clinical trial selected 23 volunteers with clinically and radiographically non-cavitated occlusal caries among patients presenting a “rather low” to “very high” caries risk. Eighty-six teeth were randomly divided into two experimental groups: teeth receiving a commercial pit-and-fissure sealant (Alpha Seal-DFL) and contra… Show more

“…A very recent clinical study also supported our findings that a TEGDMA containing commercial fissure sealant and ICON infiltrant were both effective to prevent the caries progression in non-cavitated pitand-fissures after 3 years. However, marginal integrity of the lesions was significantly reduced after 1 year for both materials 40) .…”

“…The second study evaluated an infiltrating resin on caries progression in noncavitated pit and fissure lesions. 307 Eighty-six teeth with noncavitated occlusal caries were randomly assigned to either a commercial pit and fissure sealant (Alpha Seal-DFL) or Icon infiltrant (DMG). Caries progression was monitored at 12-month intervals for 3 years by laser fluorescence and radiographs.…”
