Clinical Efficacy of Different Fissure Sealant Materials in the Newly Erupted Non-Carious First Permanent Molars

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical retention rates, marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration and secondary caries formation of two different types of resin-modified glass ionomers (Fuji® II LC; Clinpro™ XT Varnish) and giomer-containing fissure sealant materials (Beautifil Flow) with glass ionomer-containing fissure sealant material (Fuji Triage®) used on newly erupted non-carious first permanent molars as a fissure sealant. The study included 384 teeth belonging to 182 children, aged between 5 to 9 years old, who have two newly erupted mandibular permanent first molars.
