Aims and objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate self-adhering composite Dyad flow (Kerr, USA) as a pit and fissure sealant. The objectives were to assess the degree of microleakage with self-adhering composite Dyad flow and that with Fissurit F as pit and fissure sealants and, to compare the same between these two materials. Materials and Methods: 20 premolars extracted for ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare three different pit and fissure sealants with different composition to check their effectiveness for sealing ability and microleakage. MATERIALS & METHODS Total 120 therapeutically extracted premolars devoid of any caries, anomalies or morphogenic diversity were collected and distributed equally in three groups (40 in each). ...

objective: lack of a dental material with optimal adhesion and sealability is an important challenge in modern dentistry leading to marginal leakage. there are controversies on the necessity of enamel preparation in pit and fissure sealant therapy and its effect on decreasing the microleakage therefore, the present in vitro study aimed to assess the amount of microleakage with and without ename...

background: marginal seal has a principal role in durability and clinical success offissure sealants. the aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of two materials used as pit and fissure sealant with different methods of application. methods: the 55 extracted premolars were assigned randomly to one ofthe following five groups: group 1: acid-etching (ultra-etch) + fissure sealant (conv...

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...

Clinical trials were conducted on the teeth of 148 children to determine the effectiveness of a clearly visible white pit and fissure sealant. A three-year-follow-up study showed a high retention rate for the sealant.

AIM To evaluate the effect of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)-containing pit and fissure sealant on inhibition of enamel demineralization in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS Enamel specimens (n = 75) were prepared using freshly extracted noncarious human third molars. Box-shaped cavities (8 × 2 × 2 mm) on the buccal or lingual surfaces were prepared and restored with resin-based sealant (Concis...
