Retention of Glasscarbomer Sealant After 6 Months of Clinical Trial

Objectives: GlassCarbomer represents a new generation of dental glass material developed from glass-ionomer cement material. The aim of this study was to investigate retention of glasscarbomer fissure sealant after six months of clinical trial. Methods: Forty-four teeth with well-delineated fissure morphology divided in two groups were sealed with glasscarbomer (GlassCarbomer Sealant, GlassCarbomer Products, Netherlands) and Helioseal F (Vivadent, Liechtenstein) using split mouth design. Materials were placed and set according manufacturers instruction using polymerization unit Bluephase 16i (Vivadent, Liechtenstein.Teeth in group A were sealed with Helioseal F and in group B with GlassCarbomer material. Results: Results showed that retention rate in-group A and B were 100% after six months of clinical service. There was no secondary caries lesions in either group. Conclusion: GlassCarbomer material showed comparable retention rate and can also be recommended for every day practice. However, a long-term follow up is required to get reliable results.
