AbstractThe study aims to evaluate the bond strength of sealants on deciduous molars. Clinpro ™ XT, Vitremer ™, Fluroshield and Optibond FL materials were applied to the occlusal surface of 40 deciduous lower molars (n = 5). The teeth were prepared for the micro tensile test, obtaining a specimen in a stick format with a cross-sectional area of 0.8 mm2. After 24 hours and 6 months of restorative procedures, the specimens were traversed in universal test machine. The statistical analysis used the tooth as experimental unit, considering the adhesive and mixed fractures data, through Variance Analysis of repeated measures and Tukey tests (α = 0.05). There was a difference among the adhesion of the materials in 24 h, with higher union strength for Optibond FL (31.20 ± 1.36 MPa), significantly higher than that of Clinpro ™ XT (20.23 ± 1.16 MPa), Fluroshield (24.61 ± 2.76 MPa) and Vitremer™ (21.31 ± 2.32 MPa), which were similar. After 6 months of storage, the Clinpro ™ XT bond strength remained (22.18 ± 2.91 MPa), Optibond FL decreased (20.77 ± 1.53 MPa), but remained similar to that of Clinpro ™ XT in 6 months. The lowest adhesion values at 6 months were of Fluroshield (11.14 ± 1.98 Mpa) and Vitremer (5.29 ± 0.58 Mpa). It was concluded that the bond strength of the sealants to the occlusal surface of the deciduous molars was influenced by the material, with Clinpro ™ XT being the only material that maintained the bond strength values after 6 months.Keywords: Pit and Fissure Sealants.

Os materiais Clinpro™ XT, VitremerTM, Fluroshield e Optibond FL foram aplicados na superfície oclusal de 40 molares inferiores decíduos (n=5). Os dentes foram preparados para o ensaio de microtração, com obtenção de corpo-de-prova em formato de palito com área de seção transversal de 0,8 mm2. Após 24 horas e 6 meses da realização dos procedimentos restauradores, os espécimes foram tracionados em máquina de ensaio universal. A análise estatística usou como unidade experimental o dente, considerando os dados de fraturas adesivas e mistas, pelos testes de Análise de Variância de medidas repetidas e Tukey (α=0,05). Houve diferença entre a adesão dos materiais em 24 h, com maior resistência de união para o Optibond FL (31,20 ±1,36 MPa), significativamente maior que a do Clinpro™ XT (20,23 ±1,16 MPa); Fluroshield (24,61 ±2,76 MPa) e VitremerTM (21,31 ±2,32 MPa) foram semelhantes. Decorridos 6 meses de armazenamento, a resistência de união do Clinpro™ XT se manteve (22,18 ±2,91 MPa) e a do Optibond FL diminuiu (20,77 ±1,53 MPa) mas se manteve semelhante à do Clinpro™ XT em 6 meses. Os menores valores de adesão em 6 meses foram do Fluroshield (11,14 ±1,98 Mpa) e do Vitremer (5,29 ±0,58 Mpa). Concluiu-se que a resistência de união dos selantes à superfície oclusal dos molares decíduos foi influenciada pelo material, sendo o Clinpro™ XT o único material que manteve os valores de resistência de união após 6 meses.Palavras-chave: Selantes de Fossas e Fissuras.

Abstract Oral diseases are progressive, cumulative, and become more intricate to treat with advancement. While dental caries is an infectious transmissible disease with children being at the highest risk, primary prevention can reduce this risk. Primary prevention in dentistry is usually considered to be community fluoridated water supplies, professional fluoride treatments, and pit and fissure sealants. While community fluoridated water supplies have been proven to be cost-effective, the cost-effectiveness of pit and fissure sealants has primarily been studied in school–based programs of children from low socio-economic backgrounds. Dental sealant programs are just one way to help increase primary prevention in the oral health disparities of children. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature regarding the cost-effectiveness of pit and fissure sealants as a preventive strategy in preventive dentistry. Citation Kitchens DH.
