Objectives:
To assess the efficacy of resin sealants in children aged 6-12 years referred to one graduate pedodontic
program located in the Middle East (2009-2010).
Study Design:
Data from a cohort of 110 patients with at least 2 erupted first permanent molars were included in
this study. Dental health status was evaluated using the DMFs/t index. UltraSeal XT® Plus sealants (n=253 applications) were performed in presence of rubber dam isolation and survival carefully inspected and scored at 1 and 2
years. Cross-sectional examination of descriptives and bi/multivariate analysis followed.
Results:
Majority (63%) were males. Caries were diagnosed in 77.9% of children with only 1% deemed caries-free.
Hence, mean DMFs/t was 9.3±6.1/7.2±5.1, respectively. At 2 years, 66% of sealants were completely retained and
11% completely lost. Analysis revealed higher sealant survival in mandibular teeth.
Conclusions:
Fluoride-releasing resin sealant is an effectual preventive tool especially in such a high carious population.
