چکیده
UNLABELLED The penetration of a sealant into the tooth fissures can establish longer retention time for a pit and fissure sealant restoration. AIM This in vitro study was to evaluate the penetration ability of two low-viscosity resin materials, a composite and a compomer, applied with and without their bonding agents in comparison to an unfilled resin sealant. METHODS Forty premolars with shallow/wide (group I) and forty with deep/narrow occlusal fissures (group II) were used. Each group was divided into five subgroups (A-E). The teeth in the subgroups were sealed as follows: A - Delton LC Clear (unfilled resin); B - Dyract flow (compomer); C - Prime&Bond NT (bonding agent) and Dyract flow; D - Tetric flow (resin composite); E - Syntac Sprint (bonding agent) and Tetric flow. Longitudinal sections were cut along the mesiodistal direction of fissures and examined under a videomicroscope. The resin penetration was rated according to the scale "low", "medium", "high", indicating penetration up to one third and two thirds of fissure depth and to the fissure bottom, respectively. RESULTS These revealed the following: a) the penetration of all sealants was higher in shallow/wide than in deep/narrow fissures; b) the low-viscosity resin materials provided higher penetration than the unfilled resin sealant in shallow/wide fissures, whereas the unfilled resin achieved superior penetration rates in deep/narrow ones; c) the combination of a hydrophilic sealant (Dyract flow) with a hydrophilic bonding agent (Prime&Bond NT) significantly promoted the penetration depth in deep/narrow fissures. CONCLUSION The penetration ability of all sealants was higher in shallow/wide than in narrow/deep fissures; low-viscosity resin composite and compomer provided higher penetration efficiency than the unfilled resin sealant in shallow/wide fissures, whereas the unfilled resin achieved superior penetration rate in deep/narrow ones. The combination of a hydrophilic sealant with a hydrophilic bonding agent significantly enhanced the penetration depth in deep/narrow fissures.

The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the marginal microleakage of different materials used as pit-and-fissure sealants (Delton, Filtek Flow, Dyract Flow and Vitremer). Fifty-six extracted sound human third molars were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n=14). After sealant placement, the teeth were thermocycled (500 cycles; 5 degrees C, 37 degrees C and 55 degrees C), isolated, immersed i...

Background and purpose: Deep fissures of occlusal surface in recently erupted first permanent molars are prone to accumulation of bacterial plaque. Sealing these fissures by appropriate flowing materials, as pit and fissure sealants, is a conservative way to prevent caries. The purpose of this study was to compare retention of flowable composite resin by resin modified glass ionomer sealant in ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine if flowable composites can be used as pit and fissure sealants without bonding agents. METHODS Three flowable composites (Filtek Flow, Tetric Flow, Charmfil Flow) and a filled sealant (Ultraseal XT Plus) were used. The patterns of resin tag formation in the 4 sealant materials were compared using scanning electron microscopy. For the microleakage...

Objectives: Microleakage is a major cause of failure of dental restorations and results in development of secondary caries, tooth hypersensitivity and pulp pathosis. This study aimed to compare the microleakage of class II cavities filled with two types of composite resins and a compomer and subjected to thermocycling. Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, class II cavities with a gi...
