“…The experimental RBS tested in this study interacted adequately with both sound and demineralized enamel. This latter situation may be related to the adhesion of resin-based sealants, the longevity of the treatment 5,9,28 and the extent of the preventive effect. It is well known that high-viscosity resin-based materials may be less able to penetrate into occlusal pits and fissures 29 and this may affect the micromechanical interaction between the tooth and the resin sealant interface 30 .…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of boron-nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) on the properties of resin-based light-curing dental sealants (RBSs) when incorporated at different concentration. RBSs were formulated using methacrylate monomers (90 wt.% TEGDMA, 10 wt.% Bis-GMA). BNNTs were added to the resin blend at 0.1 wt.% and 0.2 wt.%. A Control group without filler was also designed. Degree of conversion, ultimate tensile strength, contact angle, surface free energy, surface roughness and color of the RBSs were evaluated for the tested materials. Their cytotoxicity and mineral deposition ability (Bioactivity) were also assessed. A suitable degree of conversion, no effect in mechanical properties and no cytotoxic effect was observed for the experimental materials. Moreover, the surface free energy and the surface roughness decreased with the addition of BNNTs. While the color analysis showed no difference between specimens containing BNNTs and the control group. Mineral deposition occurred in all specimens containing BNNTs after 7d. In conclusion, the incorporation of BNNTs may provide bioactivity to resin-based dental sealants and reduce their surface free energy.

“…Moreover, pits and fissures sealing offers reliable protection against caries, which reduces the incidence of such a disease up to 18,92% in permanent molars in 5 to 10 years old children 3 . The effectiveness of resin-based sealants is well established 4,5 as a cost-effective treatment for controlling caries lesions 5–7 .…”

“…Polyacid modified resin sealants also showed low retention rates [ 46 ]. However, studies that used HVGIC [ 50 , 51 ] or Fuji Triage [ 52 ] have shown improved retention rate results for GI sealants that are comparable to resin-based sealants.…”

The Use of Pit and Fissure Sealants—A Literature Review

This paper reviews the literature and discusses the latest updates on the use of pit and fissure sealants. It demonstrates the effectiveness of pit and fissure sealants in preventing caries and the management of early carious lesions. It compares the use of different sealant materials and their indications. It describes the application technique for sealants. It also reviews the cost-effectiveness of sealants as a preventive strategy. From this review and after the discussion of recently published studies on pit and fissure sealants, it is evident that sealants are effective in caries prevention and in preventing the progression of incipient lesions. It is therefore recommended that pit and fissure sealant be applied to high-caries-risk children for optimum cost-effectiveness. It is a highly sensitive technique that needs optimum isolation, cleaning of the tooth surface, etching, and the application of a thin bonding layer for maximum benefit. Recall and repair, when needed, are important to maximize the effectiveness of such sealant use.

“…However, prevention with oral hygiene and fluoridated treatments is not totally efficient in preventing disease in pits and fissures when compared to smooth surfaces [5]. Therefore, the introduction of preventive measures that minimize the onset and progression of caries disease, especially in school children is necessary, since they have permanent molars in the stage of eruption [6][7][8].…”

“…The transversal brushing technique, specifically directed to these teeth, is effective in controlling the local biofilm and at the same time contributes to the maintenance of small amounts of fluoride in the oral environment [13,15]. In addition, sealing of pits and fissures has been shown to be highly effective with regard to the prevention of caries lesions [7,13]. Although studies have shown resinous materials as the material of choice, there are still gaps in showing the best evidence to put into clinical practice [16][17][18][19][20].…”

Objective: To verify the effectiveness of sealing with glass ionomer cement and transversal brushing in the prevention and treatment of initial caries lesions in erupting permanent molars of children aged 5-7 years. Material and Methods: Healthy teeth with ICDAS scores 1 or 2 were selected. One hundred and thirty-one children (79 teeth in the control group -75 teeth in the test group) were randomly assigned into the two experimental groups: (1) transversal brushing technique for plaque control with conventional flat bristles and fluoridated dentifrice or (2) sealing the occlusal surfaces with glass ionomer cement (Vitro Molar ® ). Follow-up was performed for 18 months and the survival analysis was applied to test the occurrence of lesion progression. Results: The mean age of children was 5.4 years and it was verified that, by examining the initial tooth condition, the probability of progression was 66% lower when the tooth had initial caries lesions than when it was healthy; the probability of molar progression was about 74% lower in the test group compared to the control group. The mean time for lesion development in the test group (16.8 months; SD = 0.5) was greater than that in the control group (16.5 months; SD = 0.5; p=0.008). Conclusion: Sealing reduces the progression of caries disease in initial lesions when compared to the transversal brushing technique.
