“…In the present study, rubber dam isolation was not used, as had been reported for many other sealant studies. 20,27,29,30,31,32 Th is deviat ion from the goi ng protocol for resin-based procedures is justified since it was shown that rubber dam does not improve the retention of resin-based sealants. 33 It was possible to blind treatment for the children, as only one kind of treatment was performed at each of the schools.…”

Abstract:The aim was to test the null-hypothesis that there is no difference in the cumulative survival rate of retained composite resin (CR) sealants and a high-viscosity glass-ionomer Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) sealant in first permanent molars calculated according to the traditional and the modified retention assessment criteria over a period of 3 years. This cluster-randomized controlled clinical trial consisted of 123 schoolchildren, 6-7-years-old. At baseline, high-caries risk pits and fissures of fully erupted first permanent molars were treated with CR and ART sealants. Evaluations were performed after 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 years. Retention was scored for free-smooth surface and for each of three sections into which the occlusal surface had been divided. The modified criterion differed from the traditional in that it determined an occlusal sealant to be a failure when at least one section contained no visible sealant material. Data were analysed according to the PHREG model with frailty correction, Wald-test, ANOVA and t-test, using the Jackknife procedure. The cumulative survival rates for retained CR and ART sealants in free-smooth and occlusal surfaces for both criteria were not statistically significantly different over the 3 years. A higher percentage of retained CR sealants on occlusal surfaces was observed at longer evaluations. Cumulative survival rates were statistically significantly lower for the modified criterion in comparison to the traditional. The modified retention assessment criterion should be used in future sealant-retention studies.

“…Similarly, a field study found no significant difference in the cumulative survival of pit and fissure caries between glass-ionomer and resin-based sealants after two years 30) . Another study reported no significant difference in caries incidence between glass-ionomer and resin-based sealants 33) . However, a clinical study showed that glass ionomer sealants were slightly more efficient in preventing caries than resin-based 32) .…”

“…Comparable results were reported in another study in which sealants were provided in a school environment, which found that 93.8% of resinbased sealants were completely lost 3 years after placement 31) . One clinical study and other field studies found that the retention of resin-based sealants was higher than that of glass-ionomer sealants [32][33][34] . For both sealants, the higher survival rate of retention noted in our study could be because both sealants were applied under controlled and dry clinical conditions by a single operator.…”

“…However, both sealants had better caries preventive effect in MR group. A study of Chinese children comparing caries prevention and retention of resinbased and glass ionomer sealants among high and low risk caries groups reported no significant difference in the occurrence of caries between the two sealants in either group 33) . However, high risk children with resinbased sealants were more likely to have caries than the low risk group, while there was no difference in caries occurrence between the two groups for glass ionomer sealants 33) .…”

Retention and caries-preventive effect of glass ionomer and resin-based sealants: An 18-month-randomized clinical trial

The objective of this study was to compare the retention and caries-preventive effect of glass ionomer (Fuji Triage) and resin-based (Clinpro) sealants among 6-9-year-old children. This split-mouth, randomized clinical trial covered 35 children/140 fully erupted permanent first molars. Evaluation was conducted by two independent examiners after 6, 12, and 18 months and the data were compared in relation to the children's caries risk and age groups. The Kaplan-Meier survival method and chi-square test were used for analysis. There were no statistically significant differences in the survival of partial and fully retained sealants or in the survival of caries-free pits and fissures between glass-ionomer and resin-based sealants. In terms of retention, both sealants performed better in the younger age group at the end of the study, and showed better caries prevention in moderate caries risk children. After 18 months, both sealants had comparable retention and caries-preventive effects in 6-9-year old children.

Background Dental sealants were introduced in the 1960s to help prevent dental caries, mainly in the pits and fissures of occlusal tooth surfaces. Sealants act to prevent bacteria growth that can lead to dental decay. Evidence suggests that fissure sealants are effective in preventing caries in children and adolescents compared to no sealants. Effectiveness may, however, be related to caries incidence level of the population. This is an update of a review published in 2004, 2008 and 2013. Objectives To compare the effects of different types of fissure sealants in preventing caries in occlusal surfaces of permanent teeth in children and adolescents.
