Abstract

This study examined the influence on sealant strength of sealant thickness and size of opening to be bridged when fissure sealant was applied over cavities. Few differences in groups were found when thick and thin sealants were placed over 1.0, 1.4, and 1.8 mm cavities and tested by compression until fracture. Sealants placed over cavities were much weaker than sealants placed over sound enamel.
