Sealing of Developmental Pits and Fissures : III. Effects of Fluoride on Adhesion of Rigid and Flexible Sealers

Abstract: Bovine teeth that were treated with acidulated fluoride before and after etching with phosphoric acid produced adhesive bonds with fissure sealers that were lower than those of untreated controls. Human teeth from an area of high natural fluoridation were shown to be extremely resistant to etching with citric and phosphoric acids.

“…Previous studies have reported similar results with pit and fissure sealants after using topical fluorides which have shown decreased enamel solubility, resulting in decreased bond strength. 19,20 Clinically, the etching of enamel creates microporos- ities within the enamel and reduces surface tension that allows the resin to penetrate and polymerize within the etched enamel rods. 21 Teeth with higher concentration of fluoride are more resistant to acid etching than normal teeth due to the formation of fluorapatite in the structure of the enamel surface, and topical fluoride application adversely affects etching treatment.…”

“…Lightly filled epoxy resins were briefly used as fissure sealants, but their poor adhesion and instability, manifested by high-loss rates, prompted their withdrawal from clinical use. [23] Both types of materials have remained in use as endodontic sealers where they are largely protected from the oral environment by coronal restorations. However, coronal restorations may not always provide adequate protection.…”

“…The effect on our results of the fluoride solution treatments used by some of the test subjects is not known. According to LEE, STOFFEY, ORLOWSKI, SWARTZ, OCUMPAUGH & NEVILLE (1972), topical fluoride treatments may be unfavorable for the retention of the sealant.…”
