ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective:
To clinically evaluate the retention and marginal discoloration of pit and fissure sealants applied to primary and permanent teeth. Material andMethods:
The study population encompassed of 5-15 years-old children. After consenting, a light-curing sealant was applied to etched pits and fissures of occlusal surfaces of selected sound teeth. The retention rate and marginal discoloration were assessed, 3 months after application of the sealants based on the criteria proposed by Simonsen's criteria (total retention score 0, partial loss score 1, and total loss score 2). Each tooth was considered as an independent sample during analysis.Results:
The achieved sample size was 43 children aged 5-15 years (mean age=10.0 years). Therefore, data of 100 teeth from 43 children were used for the final analysis. The percentage of completely retained sealants (59%) was higher than the percentage of partially retained sealants (23%) and completely missing sealants (18%) after 3 months follow up. Out of 100 sealed teeth, 60% were either had marginal discoloration or completely missing. Using the Mann-Whitney test, there was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) between primary and permanent teeth in terms of retention. However, there was no statistical difference (p>0.05) between upper and lower teeth in terms of retention.Conclusion:
The success rate of fissure sealants after 3 months follow-up was satisfactory.
