Comparison of Retention between Conventional and Nanofilled Resin Sealant in a Paediatric Populatio
- Conditions
- Retention of conventional resin sealant versus Nano filled sealant retention on permanent first molars with deep fissures or non-cavitated carious lesions of sixty-two children aged six to nine years.Prevention, Nano filled Resin, Primary school children, Sealant Retention

- Brief Summary
At 18 months, Nano filled resin sealant had higher percentage of teeth with complete sealant retention (67.2%) when compared to conventional sealant at (55.2%), difference was not statistically significant. It is concluded that the Nano filled resin sealant investigated, yielded an acceptable performance in sealing the occlusal pits and fissures of mandibular permanent first molar, when followed up over a period of 18 months, which is comparable to that of conventional pit and fissure sealants.
