Evaluation of glass carbomer sealant and a moisture tolerant resin sealant - A comparative study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: Fissure sealants have been widely used for more than four decades in preventing dental caries. Advances in technology have led to the development of moisture tolerant sealants. They are available as resin based and glass ionomer based. There is a paucity of studies on the effectiveness of moisture tolerant sealant materials in clinical conditions. AIM: The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the retention and caries incidence with use of the two newly introduced moisture tolerant pit and fissure

One-year clinical evaluation of a Glass Carbomer fissure sealant, a preliminary study.
Glass Carbomer is a new generation of restorative material developed from glass-ionomer cements with possibility of gradual mineralization into fluorapatite. The aim of this clinical trial was to investigate the retention of Glass Carbomer fissure sealant after 12 months, in comparison to a commonly used conventional resin-based sealant. Forty-eight teeth in 24 patients [mean (SD) = 8 (2.3) yea...
متن کاملComparisons of in vitro penetration and adaptation of moisture tolerant resin sealant and conventional resin sealant in different fissure types.
OBJECTIVE To compare the penetration and adaptation of a moisture tolerant resin-based sealant with a conventional resin-based sealant in different occlusal fissure types in vitro by scanning electron microscopic (SEM) technique. METHODS Fifty sound, intact extracted premolars and third molars were included. They were randomly and equally allocated to receive either Seal-Rite (conventional re...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to investigate the caries-preventive effect of sealants produced with a high-viscosity glass-ionomer with an elevated powder-liquid ratio (ART), of having energy added to this glass-ionomer, and that of glass-carbomer, in comparison to that of resin composite sealants. METHODS The randomized controlled trial covered 407 children, with a mean age of ...
متن کاملEvaluation of microleakage of Ionoseal filling material as a fissure sealant agent
Introduction: Sealing pits and fissures was introduced as an approach to prevent occlusal caries for more than two decades. The aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of flow able resin reinforced glass ionomer (Ionoseal) with other materials used as fissure sealants. Methods: In this in vitro study, 50 premolar teeth of human free of any caries were selected. Fissurotomy was done...
متن کاملComparative evaluation for microleakage between Fuji-VII glass ionomer cement and light-cured unfilled resin: a combined in vivo in vitro study.
Glass ionomer cement, besides being used as restorative material, can also be used as pit and fissure sealant. The use of glass ionomer cement as pit and fissure sealant has added benefit by its fluoride-releasing property that results in increased resistance of the fissures to demineralize. The capacity of a sealant to prevent microleakage into the fissure is important, since microleakage may ...
