Key Points

  • The study aims to compare the efficacy of resin-based sealants and glass-ionomer sealants in retaining dental health by inhibiting caries.
  • Conducted an in vitro analysis of sealants.
  • Evaluated retention, fissure penetration, and caries inhibition capabilities.
  • Compared the effectiveness of different viscosities of glass-ionomer sealants.
  • All sealants showed effective retention and penetration capabilities.
  • Resin-based sealants demonstrated superior caries inhibition compared to glass-ionomer sealants.
  • The effectiveness of glass-ionomer sealants was consistent across various viscosities.

Abstract

All sealants showed effective retention and penetration capabilities; however, the RBS provided superior caries inhibition compared to glass-ionomer alternatives. The effectiveness of GIS was comparable amongst varying viscosities.
