Abstract
BACKGROUND: Pit and fissures on the young permanent tooth are ideal in harbouring dental plaque and calculus. Hence it is important to provide a preventive agent to protect against dental caries. Aim: To evaluate the retention of two different pit and fissure sealants with and without a self-etch adhesive in the first permanent molars for a period of one year. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 280 molars were included among 70 healthy children. According to randomisation, the groups were divided into Group IA - Embrace without Adhse One F bonding agent and Group IB - Embrace with Adhse One F bonding agent, Group IIA - Helioseal F without Adhse One F bonding agent and Group IIB - Helioseal F with Adhse One F bonding agent. The sealants were assessed clinically at 3,6,9, and 12 months using the modified Colour, Coverage, Caries (CCC) sealant evaluation system. RESULTS: At the end of 12 months, the retention rates of Group IB showed statistically significant results, followed by Group IIB, Group IA and Group IIA. CONCLUSIONS: At twelve months follow-up Embrase WetBond and Helioseal-F were better retentive when used with a Adhese One F bonding agent which was statistically significant. Key words:Retention, Bonding agent, Embrace WetBond, Helioseal-F. Copyright:
