The best retention capacity of the material in time has been obtained from the use of RB Sealants compared to RMGI , demonstrating retention values much lower with partial loss of material at a distance of one year from the clinic .
The compomers demonstrate retention values intermediates .
The incidence of caries in a year is negligible for all sealants application .
In terms of retention , resin-based sealants ( RB Sealants ) are the material s that give more guarantees of success at 12 months , while in the same period there have n't been significant differences in caries prevention of disease among the various classes sealing material s analyzed
UNLABELLED The occlusal surface is the most affected area by dental caries and the sealing of the pits and of the fissures has been found , in time , the preventive method most effective trying to counteract the onset .
Currently , the WHO considers it as a primary preventive measure , in other words one of the most effective and least invasive available to ensure the complete protection and the total preservation of the occlusal carious by the phenomenon .
PURPOSE THE AIM OF THIS WORK HAS BEEN TO PERFORM A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE ON CLINICAL TRIALS OF DIFFERENT SEALING MATERIAL S , IN ORDER TO : compare their individual characteristics , highlight the reliability and the long-term efficacy and identify the most significant variables , both technological and clinics , in order to declare whether or not the success of this method prior .
Clinical and antibacterial effectiveness of three different sealant materials.
PURPOSE The aim of this work is to study and compare the retention rate , caries-preventing and antibacterial effects of resin-modified glass ionomer and flowable composite in comparison to conventional fissure sealant . METHODS Forty-five children aged 7 - 10 years with newly erupted lower first permanent molars were r and omly divided into three equal treatment groups . Group I : sealed by a conventional resin sealant ; Group II : sealed by resin modified glass ionomer ( RMGI ) ; and Group III : sealed by flowable composite .  Retention and caries status of the sealed teeth were recorded after 1 month , 6 months , year and 2 years . In addition , Streptococcus mutans counts were assessed at baseline , 1 day , 1 month , 6 months , 1 year and 2 years after sealant application . Data were analyzed by Fisher exact , chi-square and ANOVA tests . RESULTS Group III and Group I showed significantly higher retention rates than Group II fissure sealant ( p<0.05 ) . There were no differences of the caries-preventive effects between the tested sealant material s throughout the duration of the study . Streptococcus mutans counts were significantly lower in group II compared to group I or group III up to 6 months of the study ( p<0.05 ) . After 1 year of the study the differences of Streptococcus mutans counts were not significant ( p>0.05 ) . CONCLUSION This study indicated a lower retention of RMGI compared to flowable composite and resin sealant without significant difference in caries prevention or long-term bacterial inhibition
