“…Bravo et al [ 27 ] compared fissure sealing and fluoride varnish application on first permanent molars and found sealant application more effective in dentin caries prevention even though the fissures were sound prior to sealing. This is also in line with the meta-analysis of Hiiri et al [ 28 ], who found pit and fissure sealants superior to topical fluoride.…”

“…A recent update of a Cochrane review concluded that there is only a low quality of evidence that pit and fissure sealants have a superior outcome, when compared to fluoride varnish application, in the prevention of occlusal caries. This conclusion is similar to that found in the previous review in 2010 [ 37 ]. Two out of three studies included in the last updated review showed a significantly better performance of sealants, compared to fluoride varnish, while the third study reported that the benefits of sealant were not statistically significant, compared to fluoride varnish.…”
