“…The results of this study were contrary to earlier investigations. [13][14][15] These investigators found no significant differences in retention rates between GIS and RS. Antonson et al 14 attributed their results to the pretreatment of the fissures with a cavity conditioner.…”

Background . The effectiveness of fissure sealants in caries prevention depends on their long-term retention and ability to stop caries progression. This randomized controlled clinical trial compared the retention rate and cariostatic properties of a contemporary glass-ionomer-based sealant (GIS) versus a resin-based sealant (RS) placed on fully erupted permanent molars in a split-mouth design. Methods. The sealants were placed on fully erupted permanent teeth (8‒12 years of age) in 45 children. The evaluation was conducted after one week and three and six months. Results. There was a statistically significant difference in the retention rate and caries transition between the two groups over a six-month clinical evaluation period. The resin-based sealant group showed a better retention rate than the GIS group (75.56% and 48.88%, respectively). The resin-based sealant was superior to GIS in preventing caries progression. Conclusion. Resin-based fissure sealant with fluoride releasing properties might be preferable in preventing caries progression of incipient non-cavitated carious lesions in fully-erupted teeth.

“…Finally, a systematic review of glass ionomers compared with resins as sealant materials summarized 20 studies on caries prevention and 28 studies on sealant retention. 238 The meta-analyses showed that there were no significant differences between the materials for caries prevention (odds ratio=0.938; 95% CI=0.647-1.359; P=.734), while the results for retention showed the resin-based sealants had a significantly better performance (odds ratio=6.006; 95% CI=3. 226-11.183; P<.001).…”

“…Recent systematic reviews suggest that fissure sealing has been effective in caries prevention and we know that at 24 months, resin-based sealants reduced caries by 11–51%, compared to no sealant usage. However, there is a scarcity of evidence on relative effectiveness of resin-based sealants, glass ionomer sealant and other types of sealants when compared to each other [1,2]. Microleakage of dental restorative materials is the main problem in clinical dentistry and is defined as leakage of bacteria, liquids, molecules and ions between tooth and restorative materials.…”

Background: The microleakage of a self-adhesive composite, a glass ionomer fissure sealant and a conventional resin-based fissure sealant were compared. Materials and methods: Fifty intact human molars with well-delineated pits and fissures were used and divided into 5 groups (n = 10). Group 1 specimens were etched (37% phosphoric acid) and sealed with conventional resin-based sealant (Helioseal F, Ivoclar Vivadent). Both Group 2 and 3 specimens were sealed with self-adhesive composite (Constic, DMG), but in Group 3, specimens were also etched (37% phosphoric acid). In Groups 4 and 5, specimens were sealed with a GIC sealant (Equia Fill, GC Company), but Group 5 was also exposed to thermo-light curing (TLC) with a LED polymerization unit (60 s). Subsequently, specimens were thermocycled (1800 cycles, dwelling time of 10 s), immersed in 50% silver nitrate solution (45 min), placed in a photo-developing solution (Kodak) under a lamp (120 W, 6 h), and cut into 3–4 slices. Marginal leakage (dye penetration depth) was evaluated under a light microscope and the worst score of each specimen was recorded (0–3). Results: Constic showed the lowest microleakage (Constic: 80% scored 0 or 1), followed by Helioseal (30% scored 0 or 1) (p = 0.037). Microleakage in groups sealed with Constic (with and without etching) were not different (p = 0.473). The quality of seal deteriorated after etching when Constic was used. However, TLC improved the seal when GIC sealant was used (p = 0.016) and also in comparison to Helioseal (p = 0.004). The TLC GIC sealant (Equia Fill, 90% scored 0 or 1) performed well, similar to self-adhesive composite (Constic, 80% scored 0 or 1) (p = 0.206). Conclusion: The present findings suggest that the self-adhesive sealant and the GIC sealant that were exposed to TLC had comparable sealing ability and superior sealing characteristics compared to the conventional resin-based sealant. A long-term clinical trial is needed to assess the intra-oral performance.
