Summary

This clinical study aims to compare the clinical performance of two different fissure sealant materials-glass ionomer and resin-based-when applied to newly erupted permanent first molars in children. The study evaluates which material provides better retention, marginal adaptation, and protection against dental caries over a 24-month period.

Conditions

  • Dental Caries
  • Fissure Sealants
  • Permanent Molars
  • Child
  • Healthy Volunteers

Interventions

DEVICE

Glass ionomer-based fissure sealant

A high-viscosity, self-curing glass ionomer sealant used for the occlusal surfaces of newly erupted permanent molars. This material releases fluoride and is moisture-tolerant during application. The product used in this study was Fuji Triage™ Capsule (GC Corporation, Japan).

DEVICE

Resin-based fissure sealant

A moisture-tolerant, light-cured resin-based fissure sealant designed for application to occlusal surfaces in partially erupted permanent molars. The material exhibits strong adhesion in moist conditions and forms a durable barrier against caries. The product used in this study was UltraSeal XT® Hydro (Ultradent Products Inc., USA).
