Abstract

Background

In modern dentistry, the focus is more on preventing caries than treating them, which helps preserve tooth structure. There is an approximately 50 % prevalence of caries on the occlusal surface in school children. Pits and fissures with irregularities and invasions are responsible for this. In dentistry, to overcome these problems, different sealant technique is introduced, for instance, the conventional method, using a bur, using air abrasion, etc. Therefore, this clinical trial was designed to evaluate the retention rate of sealant using different application techniques.

Methodology

The present Randomised clinical trial included 50 children aged 6–9 from a primary school children based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The contralateral 1st mandibular molar teeth were divided randomly before placing sealant with two different techniques.

Results

The results obtained showed that there was a statistically highly significant difference in mean scores at the end of the 1st, 3rd, 9th, and 12th months of pit and fissure sealant application done with altered morphology without the use of bonding agent compared to altered morphology with bonding agent.

Conclusion

The present study showed that sealant retention was higher in the altered morphology without bonding agent group compared to the altered morphology with bonding agent.

影响小学生树脂基窝沟封闭剂保留率的因素-一项随机临床试验

在现代牙科中，预防龋齿比治疗龋齿更重要，这有助于保护牙齿结构。在学龄儿童中，大约有50%的龋发生在牙合面。不规则和侵入的凹坑和裂缝是造成这种情况的原因。在牙科中，为了克服这些问题，引入了不同的密封技术，例如传统的方法，使用bur，使用空气磨损等。因此，本临床试验旨在评估不同应用技术下密封剂的保留率。方法本随机临床试验根据纳入和排除标准纳入了50名6-9岁的小学儿童。采用两种不同的方法将对侧下颌第一磨牙随机分开，然后放置密封胶。结果结果显示，在使用牙槽和裂隙密封剂的第1、3、9和12个月结束时，未使用粘结剂的形态改变组与使用粘结剂的形态改变组的平均评分有显著的统计学差异。结论形态学改变组的密封胶固位率高于形态学改变组。

期刊介绍： Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
