COMPARING THE CLINICAL PERFORMANCE OF THREE DIFFERENT PIT AND FISSURE SEALANTS IN TERMS OF RETENTION AND CARIES PREVENTION EFFECT: A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL
2021
Overview
Purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate the (conventional resin-based, Moisture tolerant resin-based and glass ionomer sealants) regarding their retention and caries prevention through 12 months of follow up. Design. The study was single blinded randomized clinical trial consisted of 75 first permanent molars divided into three equal groups. Group (I) (Clinpro), Group (II) (Fuji triage) and Group (III) (Embrace wetbond). The sealants were randomly applicated to erupted, first permanent molars in cooperative children aged between 6 and 9 years of age. Evaluation was done at 6- and 12-month intervals. Statistical analysis was carried out using Kruskal-wallis test followed by multiple pairwise comparisons utilizing MannWhitney U test with Bonferroni correction for intergroup comparisons. Results. At 12- month, complete retention was seen in 56.5% of conventional sealant, 72.7% of moisture-tolerant sealant, and 22.7% of glass ionomer sealant.Caries was seen in 1 tooth (4.3%) of the conventional and moisture tolerant groups and 2 teeth (9.1%) in the glass ionomer group. There was no statistical significance difference between the conventional and the moisture tolerant sealants in retention and caries prevention after 12 month follow up. Conclusion. The moisture-tolerant sealant could be successfully used because it showed comparable performance to the conventional sealant.
