Durability and aging of dental fissure sealants
… of the sealant as a function of depth in the fissure to evaluate the thickness influence on the sealant mechanical properties. The strength and stiffness of the light-cured sealant varied as a function of depth in the fissure. This results in a gradient of deformation which could cause early …

Evaluation of resin-based fissure sealants placed under field conditions
BACKGROUND: The application of dental sealants is a recommended procedure to prevent and control dental caries. However, despite strong evidence for the safety and effectiveness of dental sealants, their use still remains low, especially among children from lower socioeconomic communities. The …

The effect of microcapsules on dental formulation viscosities
… of microcapsules on the viscosity of pit and fissure sealants. We prepared a series of formulations to determine the effect of microcapsules on the viscosity of the formulations. Control formulations were prepared with only the monomers. This was followed by control formulations with monomers …

Flexural Strength of a Pit and Fissure Sealant Containing Microcapsules
… have on the flexural strength of pit and fissure sealant formulations. Pit and fissure sealants that contained microcapsules were incorporated into formulations at 5 w/w% of microcapsules (2 w/w% of 5.0 M Ca(NO3)2; 2 w/w% of 0.8 M NaF; 1 w/w% of 3.0 M K2HPO4) were added to pit and fissure …

Evaluation of multiple and single emission peak light emitting diode light curing units effect on the degree of conversion and microhardness of resin-based pit and fissure sealant
… microhardness (KHN) of a resin-based pit and fissure sealant at various light curing times and two distances compared to a single emission peak LED LCU. Method: Sixty disks of resin-based pit and fissure sealant (Delton, DENTSPLY, York, PA) samples (6x1mm) were fabricated (n=5/LCU/group). …

Effectiveness of Resin Infiltration and Mi Paste Cpp-Acp in Masking White Spot Lesions
The development of decalcification around orthodontic brackets and bands, commonly called white spot lesions (WSLs), is often observed in patients with poor oral hygiene during treatment (Behnan et al., 2010, Rodgers et al., 2010). In many instances, these WSLs continue to be visible after the …
