Clinical evaluation of pit and fissure sealant efficiency in children aged 6-7

A Laboratory Evaluation of a New Pit and Fissure Sealant

A variety of pit and fissure sealants are used clinically to protect the occlusal surfaces of teeth against dental caries. A new chemically activated bis-GMA type sea­ lant, Delton Pit and Fissure Sealant, has recently be­ come commercially available. The Delton Etching So­ lution supplied with the sealant contains 35 per cent orthophosphoric acid. The tensile bond strength of this sealant to e...

Pit and fissure sealant: review of the literature

For this literature review of pit and fissure sealant, 1,465 references were selected by a search for “sealants” on PubMed. References were limited to dental journals and papers in the English language. The search comprised papers from 1971 to October 2001. Additional papers of historical significance prior to 1971 were added from memory and from reference lists published in early papers. This ...

Pit and Fissure Sealant Versus Fluoride Varnish In Prevention of Occlusal Caries

Introduction: It was to compare the efficacy of semiannually fluoride varnish application versus pit and fissure sealant to reduce occlusal caries incidence. Materials and methods: A randomized parallel designed study was conducted with 352 child-ren aged 6-7 years. Participants were allocated into biannual application of varnish (n=179) (NaF 5 %( Durafluor, DENTSPLY®, Latin America) or re...
