Abstract
Objective To compare the preventive effect of 3M Filtek Z350 flowable resin and Pekaseal light-cured pit and fissure sealant for caries in children.Methods One hundred and twenty six children aged 6 to 10 years were selected to perform sealant technique on their first permanent molars.First molars in trial group were sealed with 3M Filtek Z350 flowable resin and in control group were sealed with Pekaseal light-cured sealant.Sealant retention rate and caries prevalence were observed during 1-year follow up.Rusults At 6-month follow up,there were no statistical difference in sealant retention rate between the two groups(P0.05).At 1 year follow up,the retention rate of flowable resin group was significantly higher than that of light-cured sealant group(P0.05).However,caries prevalence of flowable resin group was significantly lower than that of light-cured sealant group at both 6-month and 1-year follow up(P0.05).Conclusion 3M Filtek Z350 flowable resin is superior to pekaseal light-cured pit and fissure sealant to prevent caries in children.
