Addition of Fluoride to Pit and Fissure Sealants-A Feasibility Study

Abstract
A laboratory study was conducted to explore the possibility of imparting an anticariogenic property to the resins used as pit and fissure sealants via the addition of NaF to the materials. The addition of NaF in amounts of 2 to 5% appreciably reduced enamel solubility and increased its fluoride content without impairment of physical properties.
