Resin Composite Sealant with bis-GMA In vitro and in vivo Study

Abstract

Selection of sealing material is a problem in terms of long-term durability. In this regard, we have been investigating the in vitro structure and in vivo retention of composite resin sealant with BIS-GMA. Bi-dimensional and three-dimensional analysis by AFM highlights a homogeneous structure with no structural retaining areas of the material. Comparative in vivo and vitro evaluation of sealing resin revealed a correlation of the analyzed aspects in terms of the retention of the material used.

Clinical Trial Concerning the Effectiveness of Two Types Dental Sealants in Children with Bruxism

“…In the study of Barlean [28], 8.69% of the resinbased sealant was completely lost in the second year of assessment, compared to 78.26% of glass ionomer-based sealants. Assessment of composition and characteristics before choosing a sealant and their correct application increase the sealing results [29]. The disadvantages as sealing materials of resin-based sealants include polymerization shrinkage, with potentially microleakage [30].…”
