In vitro assessment of marginal leakage of six enamel sealants

The Assessment of Sealants’ Effectiveness in Arresting Non-Cavitated Caries Lesion—A 24-Month Follow-Up

“…The bacterial population recovered from pits and fissures was shown to decrease rapidly when it was sealed [20,21]. This decrease in microorganism number is probably due to the integrity of the seal between the material and the tooth surface, which does not permit the movement of fluids between the material and the hard dental structure [22,23]. Therefore, for the success of this method, the most important condition is a tight connection between sealing material and tooth surface [24].…”
