Abstract
Following a single application of a chemically polymerized fissure sealant (Concise Enamel Bond System®) 60% of the sealants were present after 2 years of examination. The effectiveness of the treatment was highly significant and the caries reduction, irrespective of the sealant status, was found to be about 5096. The caries reduction was 98% in sealed pairs where the material was fully retained.Keywords
