Pit and fissure sealants for preventing dental decay in the permanent teeth of children and adolescents

COVID-19 Reflections on Restorative Treatments of Permanent First Molars

“…In accordance with the literature [ 12 , 13 ], a decrease in the number of fissure sealants and an increase in the number of restorations are observed with increasing age. This situation can be associated with the eruption of the second molar in the mouth over time and poorer oral hygiene practices.…”

Retention of dental sealants placed on sound teeth and incipient caries lesions as part of a service‐learning programme in rural areas in Mexico

“…Our survival rates are close to the ranges described by a recent meta‐analysis, where resin sealants were reported to have mean retention rates between 79% and 92% at 12‐month follow‐up, 71% and 85% at 24‐month follow‐up, and 61–80% at the 36‐month follow‐up 5 . Results of a study by Mertz‐Fairhurst et al.…”

“…Direct comparisons to other studies are, however, difficult because of the fact that there are not many studies on sealants' survival placed in conditions and ⁄ or populations similar to those of this study. Our survival rates are close to the ranges described by a recent meta-analysis, where resin sealants were reported to have mean retention rates between 79% and 92% at 12month follow-up, 71% and 85% at 24-month follow-up, and 61-80% at the 36-month follow-up 5 .

Effectiveness of school‐based dental sealant programs among children from low‐income backgrounds in France: a pragmatic randomized clinical trial

“…The estimated odds ratio of 0.26 in the present study was higher than 0.13, which was reported in a meta-analysis involving three RCT published from 1976 to 1979 (1). Two factors that can explain the difference between these estimates are the higher prevalence of caries in the 1970s (19) and the fact that two of the three split-mouth RCTs reported in the meta-analysis included only children with caries at baseline (1). The second factor is also supported by our study, which noted the effectiveness of the SBDS program among children with active caries and a high SM count at baseline.…”
