Summary

This study compared fluoride release from five pit and fissure sealants over 30 days. Teethmate-F showed the highest sustained fluoride release after the initial 24-hour period.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Materials Science
  • Preventive Dentistry

Background:

  • Pit and fissure sealants are crucial for preventing dental caries.
  • Fluoride release from sealants may enhance caries resistance.
  • Understanding fluoride release patterns is key for sealant selection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare fluoride release amounts and patterns from five commercial fluoride-containing pit and fissure sealants.
  • To evaluate fluoride release over a 30-day period.
  • To identify sealants with optimal fluoride release profiles.

Main Methods:

  • Five fluoride-releasing sealants and one non-fluoridated control were tested.
  • Disc-shaped samples were immersed in distilled water.
  • Fluoride release was measured periodically for 30 days.

Main Results:

  • All tested fluoridated sealants released measurable fluoride.
  • The highest fluoride release occurred within the first 24 hours.
  • Baritone L3 showed significantly higher release on day one; Teethmate-F exhibited the highest sustained release from day two onwards.

Conclusions:

  • Commercial pit and fissure sealants exhibit varying fluoride release profiles.
  • Teethmate-F demonstrates superior sustained fluoride release.
  • Fluoride release patterns should be considered when selecting sealants for caries prevention.
