Abstract
:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of six different types of occlusal fissure cleansing methods [rubber cup and pumice, dry pointed brush, round bur, fissure bur, prophyjet with 50 micron particles and with 25 micron particles] on retention of unfilled non fluoride containing fissure sealant [Helioseal] and filled fluoride-containing fissure sealant [Sealrite]. The present study was carried out on two hundred and one children [106 females and 95 males] in a school in Mansoura province. Their ages ranged from six to eight years old. Each child had two contralateral sound and fully erupted lower first permanent molars with deep or moderate occlusal fissures and no history of previous fissure sealant application. The different fissure cleansing methods were applied on both contralateral molars .Helioseal fissure sealant was then applied on a first permanent molar on one side and Sealrite was applied on its contra lateral. Follow up was done i clinically using the criteria described by Simonsen. Fissure sealant placed on fissures prepared with burs showed highest retention followed by air polishing methods. Unfilled non fluoride -containing sealant had a tendency for higher retention rate than filled fluoride-containing sealant.
