“…Further, Se bond seemed to be less sensitive to moisture contamination. But the present study result was contradictory to the study conducted by Karmar et al 15 on evaluation of pit and fissure sealant placed with different adhesive system states that the retention rates for sealant placed with etch and rinse adhesive technique showed better rates than those placed in self-etch adhesive.…”

Aim:The aim of the study is to evaluate the retention of fissure sealants following the use of self-etch priming agent and traditional acid-etch method. Materials and methods:Thirty subjects around the age 8 to 12 years old school children was recruited to this study by two dental professionals. Paired lower molars were the principal unit of analysis. Pit and fissure sealant placement lower molars followed by traditional acid-etching done on 36 and self-etch primer (3M ESPE) on 46. After 6 months the retention was evaluated using Smales RJ and Wong KC (1999) retention evaluation criteria. The Chi-square test was used to evaluate the difference in the retention rates. Results:The total retention in the self-etch sealant group seems to be high, the difference between the groups was not statistically significant. The chi-square computed value was found to be c 2 = 0.417, df = 1 and p = 0.519. This means that there was no significance difference between the retention rate of self-etch sealant compared to conventional acid-etch technique. Hence, this study conclude that self-etch primer (3M ESPE Adper) is effective in bonding sealant to enamel and that the simplified method dramatically shortens treatment time and treatment complexity.

“…However, laser ablation takes more time and requires expensive equipment, and safety considerations during laser use need to be taken into account 11,12. Pretreatment with Er:YAG laser alone prior to sealant application led to increased resin microleakage and less tensile bond strength of the sealant-to-enamel bond than acid etching 13,14,15,16,17,18. However, other studies found that the use of erbium laser associated with etching yielded similar microleakage and retention,18,19,20 or less microleakage, than conventional acid etching 21…”

ObjectivesThe purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the microleakage and penetration of fissure sealant in permanent molar teeth with fluorosis after pretreatment of the occlusal surface.Materials and MethodsA total of 120 third molars with mild dental fluorosis were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 20). The tooth surfaces were sealed with an unfilled resin fissure sealant (FS) material. The experimental groups included: 1) phosphoric acid etching (AE) + FS (control); 2) AE + One-Step Plus (OS, Bisco) + FS; 3) bur + AE + FS; 4) bur + AE + OS + FS; 5) Er:YAG laser + AE + FS; and 6) Er:YAG laser + AE + OS + FS. After thermocycling, the teeth were immersed in 0.5% fuchsin and sectioned. Proportions of mircoleakage (PM) and unfilled area (PUA) were measured by digital microscope.ResultsOverall, there were significant differences among all groups in the PM (p = 0.00). Group 3 showed the greatest PM, and was significantly different from groups 2 to 6 (p < 0.05). Group 6 showed the lowest PM. Pretreatment with Er:YAG with or without adhesive led to less PM than bur pretreatment. There were no significant differences among groups in PUA.ConclusionsConventional acid etching provided a similar degree of occlusal seal in teeth with fluorosis compared to those pretreated with a bur or Er:YAG laser. Pretreatment of pits and fissures with Er:YAG in teeth with fluorosis may be an alternative method before fissure sealant application.

“…The level of consistency found (kappa coefficient of agreement) between two reviewers performing the initial screening of records was high (κ value=0.93). After the full text examination, nine studies (10 publications [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] ) meeting the inclusion criteria were included (figure 1 and table 1), while the remaining 23 studies were excluded due to the reasons reported in the online supplemental appendix 2. The study carried out by Nammour et al was described in two publications.…”

ObjectiveTo assess the effectiveness of lasers (at sub-ablative parameters) in reducing caries incidence compared with traditional prophylactic interventions (TPIs) when used alone or together with other TPIs such as pits and fissures sealant or fluoride gels or varnishes.DesignA systematic review. Data sources include Medline (via PubMed), Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library (December 2019).Eligibility criteriaOnly randomised trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) dealing with prophylactic lasers use (vs TPI or untreated teeth) were considered as eligible. We excluded in vitro and ex vivo studies.Data extractionEligible studies were selected and data extracted independently by two reviewers. Risk of bias was assessed adopting the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Data on caries incidence, sealant retention, fluoride uptake, adverse events, treatment duration, patients’ discomfort and cost-effectiveness ratio was extracted.Data analysisExtracted data were presented narratively due to the heterogeneity of included studies.ResultsSeven RCTs and two CCTs, all with an evident risk of bias, met inclusion criteria, pooling together 269 individuals and 1628 teeth. CO2, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet, erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG), erbium, chromium: yttrium scandium gallium garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) and Argon lasers were used. In the permanent dentition, lasers only when used in combination with TPIs were effective in reducing caries when compared with untreated teeth (risk ratio (RR)=0.44 (0.20–0.97); Er:YAG laser) or with TPIs used alone (RR=0.39 (0.22–0.71); CO2 laser). Moreover, Argon laser significantly improved the fluoride uptake into the enamel surfaces (ANalysis Of VAriance (ANOVA) tests: 95%, p<0.0001). Likewise, sealant retention improved when acid etching was performed on previously irradiated enamel fissures by CO2 laser (RR=0.63 (0.38–1.04)) or Er:YAG laser (RR=0.54 (95% CI: 0.34 to 0.87)). In addition, laser resulted safe and well tolerated by patients.ConclusionDespite some positive indications, an inadequate level of evidence was found in the included studies concerning the lasers’ effectiveness in preventing caries. Further studies with a higher methodological quality level are required.
