“…However, a longitudinal clinical trial that used a split mouth technique found no difference in effectiveness between FV and PFS. This might be because the study used glass-ionomer fissure sealants, which are less retentive and have a higher failure rate than resin-based sealants (28). The cost of preventing the first episode of an occlusal dental caries lesion is almost $157.…”

“…However, sealing occlusal surfaces of molar teeth without a carious lesion assessment at surface level is not uncommon in sealant studies. 26,27,28 Resin-based sealants are preferably performed under rubber dam isolation. In the present study, rubber dam isolation was not used, as had been reported for many other sealant studies.…”

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.

“…This may be due to the higher viscosity of the material that sets faster than a light-cured resin, which decreases the diffusion of the material into the irregular surface topography of pit and fissure and subsequently resulting in void formation and reduced adhesive capacity. 1 Conventional fluoride varnishes are retained on the tooth surface for 24 h, whereas the RMGI-F varnish was retained for a longer time due to its ability to bond to the tooth structure by resin infiltration as well as chemical bonding. 10 It should be noted that the percentage loss of sealant of sealant/ varnish was higher at the 6-month follow-up.…”

“…Deep pit and fissures of partially erupted permanent molars make them vulnerable to bacterial plaque accumulation and colonisation of cariogenic microorganisms, which leads to the initiation of dental caries lesions. 1 These teeth are not in occlusion, until the completion of eruption over a period of 12 months, which favours further plaque accumulation. Parents and children are often unaware of the erupting teeth.…”

Background: Deep pits and fissures in partially erupted permanent molars are vulnerable to dental caries.Aim: To assess the clinical effectiveness of resin-modified glass ionomer-based fluoride varnish (RMGI-F varnish: Clinpro XT™ varnish) in preventing occlusal caries lesions in partially erupted permanent first molars. Design:In this randomised active-controlled superiority trial with a single-blind parallel design, 74 children with 182 partially erupted first permanent molars were allocated into two groups: Group 1: RMGI-F varnish; and Group 2: GI sealant (active control), with an application of 0.1% sodium fluoride varnish for all other teeth. The primary outcome was ICDAS score ≥1 at 12 months of followup. Data were analysed using adjusted Chi-square test and GEE regression for binary outcomes.Results: Group 1 (15.7%) and Group 2 (13.8%) did not differ significantly in ICDAS ≥1 scores at 12 months of follow-up (adjusted χ 2 = 0.373, p = .541). There was no significant difference in retention between Group 1 (48.3%) and Group 2 (20.7%) at 12 months of follow-up (adjusted χ 2 = 0.1, p = .752). Mean application time per tooth (16 ± 5.9 vs 20.2 ± 5.4 min) was significantly different (t = 5.26, p = .014).Conclusions: RMGI-F varnish was not superior to GI sealant in preventing occlusal caries lesions in partially erupted molars.

Comparison of the caries-preventive effect of a glass ionomer sealant and fluoride varnish on newly erupted first permanent molars of children with and without dental caries experience

Abstract: The caries-preventive effect was very similar between both treatments. The presence of dental caries prevailed in the children with caries experience.
