Comparative evaluation of fluoride releasing hydrophilic pit and fissure sealant with a highly filled nano-hybrid pit and fissure sealant in the prevention of dental caries in children- an in-vitro study.

Abstract

Purpose: To determine the degree of microleakage of fluoride releasing hydrophilic pit and fissure sealant (Group I) with a highly filled nano-hybrid pit-and-fissure sealant (Group II) using dye penetration method. Materials and methods: Out of hundred, fifty sound permanent premolar teeth that have been extracted for orthodontic reasons were collected from the outpatient Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of K. D. Dental College and Hospital, Mathura. Following ultrasonic scaling specimen preparation was done with pumice prophylaxis and acid etching. Teeth were divide into 2 Groups I : fluoride releasing hydrophilic pit and fissure sealant and Group II : highly filled nano-hybrid pit-and-fissure sealant. Both groups were subjected to thermocycling. Samples were immersed in 2% methylene blue dye. Sectioning of samples and microleakage evaluation was done using Image J program. Results: There was insignificant result among 2 groups using Student‘t’ test. Conclusion: Application of Fluoride releasing hydrophilic sealants on moist enamel had less microleakage and dye penetration as compared to highly filled nano-hybrid pit-and-fissure sealant applied on dry enamel. Thus, it can be used in young children, disabled children and public dental health programs.
