Abstract
Comparison of Tensile Bond Strength Between Fissure Sealants Placed After Rubber Cup Polishing and Air Polishing of Enamel Surface (An in vitro study)
Highlights
The recent dentistry has focused on preventive approaches and conservative methods to apply less-invasive techniques to the dental structure[1]
The cleaning of fissures is an important procedure before sealant application and there is some difficulty to remove stains and debris in a deep area of fissures especially by rubber cup with pumice slurry
The study aims to compare the tensile bond strength (TBS) of two different types of fissure sealants placed after rubber cup pumice polishing and air polishing of the enamel surface
Summary
The recent dentistry has focused on preventive approaches and conservative methods to apply less-invasive techniques to the dental structure[1]. Fissure sealants are one of the main prevention measures for reducing the risk, and the occurrence of caries in the fissure area, avoiding the need for more invasive dental procedures[4]. The cleaning of fissures is an important procedure before sealant application and there is some difficulty to remove stains and debris in a deep area of fissures especially by rubber cup with pumice slurry. The study aims to compare the tensile bond strength (TBS) of two different types of fissure sealants placed after rubber cup pumice polishing and air polishing of the enamel surface. The null theory test was that there were no statistically significant differences in the tensile bond strength of tested materials between two methods of enamel surface cleaning
