Methods: Six- to nine-year-old children (n=96) with all permanent first molars in occlusion were examined and assigned to two groups: GIC sealant or resin-based sealant. The sealants were applied according to the manufacturers’ recommendations. The assessment of sealant retention was performed at two-month interval sessions (n=6), when each sample was scored according to the following criteria: complete retention, partial retention or complete loss. The visual and tactile examinations were carried out with a WHO probe, mouth mirror, air syringe and artificial light. The data were submitted to descriptive statistics and survival analysis. Results: A total of 384 occlusal surfaces were analyzed. Independent of the tooth and evaluation time, slightly better results were achieved by the resin-based sealant, but the difference was not statistically significant.

  • School-Based Dental Sealant Programs, This Issue Brief Now Turns to the Application of This Policy Lens to One State, Minnesota
    ORAL HEALTH Issue Brief Policy Frameworks Supporting School-Based Dental Sealant Programs and Their Application in Minnesota Despite strong evidence of the effectiveness of school-based dental sealant programs, most states are not taking full advantage of this significant opportunity to improve children’s health.1 The Minnesota Department of Health Oral Health Program, with financial support from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), sought an analysis of laws and policies in Minnesota and throughout the United States that either facilitate or impede school-based dental sealant programs. This Issue Brief identifies innovative laws and policies for more widespread consideration, adoption and implementation at the state level. It suggests that a statewide, coordinated school-based dental sealant program may provide a policy framework for evidence-based, effective, and sustainable school-based dental sealant programs. Finally, it examines the current state of the law in one state, Minnesota. Background Dental care is one of our nation’s greatest unmet children’s health needs, and tooth decay is the most common chronic disease affecting U.S. children.2 Despite being almost entirely preventable,3 tooth decay is on the rise among young children and has been described as “a public health crisis.”4 Without adequate preventive care and treatment, tooth decay can cause pain and infection and can lead to difficulties with eating, speaking, learning, and socializing, among other issues.5 Children with oral health problems are more likely to miss school and to perform poorly in school.6 National estimates suggest that oral disease causes children to miss approximately 51 million school hours a year,7 making it the number one reason for missed school.8 There are significant disparities in children’s access to dental care, and low-income, minority, and rural children are particularly vulnerable.

These materials are said to provide the combined benefits of composites (the “comp” in their name) and glass ionomers (“omer”).

The resin sealants were analyzed for degree of conversion (DC), Knoop hardness (KHN), and softening in solvent (ΔKHN), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), contact angle (θ) with water or α-bromonaphthalene, surface free energy (SFE), and antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans for biofilm formation and planktonic bacteria. There was no significant difference for DC (p > 0.05). The initial Knoop hardness ranged from 17.30 (±0.50) to 19.50 (± 0.45), with lower value for GCTRL (p < 0.05). All groups presented lower KHN after immersion in solvent (p < 0.05). The ΔKHN ranged from 47.22 (± 4.30) to 57.22 (± 5.42)%, without significant difference (p > 0.05). The UTS ranged from 54.72 (± 11.05) MPa to 60.46 (± 6.50) MPa, with lower value for G2% (p < 0.05).

The experimental GICs (Ketac_M, Riva_M, FujiIX_M) were prepared by mixing SPG fillers with commercial liquid phases using the powder to liquid mass ratio of 2.5:1. FTIR-ATR was used to assess the maturation of GICs. Diffusion coefficient of fluoride (DF) and cumulative fluoride release (CF) in deionized water was determined using the fluoride ion specific electrode (n=3). CS and BFS at 24 h were also tested (n=6). Commercial GICs were used as comparisons. Riva and Riva_M exhibited rapid polyacrylate salt formation. The highest DF and CF were observed with Riva_M (1.65x10-9 cm2/s) and Riva (77 ppm) respectively.

It discusses alternative and commercial photoinitiators and focuses on mechanisms of polymerization process, in vitro measurement methods and factors influencing the degree of conversion and hardness of dental resins. PubMed, Academia.edu, Google Scholar, Elsevier, ResearchGate and Mendeley, analysis from 1985 to 2020 were searched electronically with appropriate keywords. Over 60 articles were chosen based on relevance to this review. Dental light-cured composites are the most common filling used in dentistry, but every photoinitiator system requires proper light-curing system with suitable spectrum of light. Alternation of photoinitiator might cause changing the values of biomechanical properties such as: degree of conversion, hardness, biocompatibility. This review contains comparison of biomechanical properties of dental composites including different photosensitizers among other: camphorquinone, phenanthrenequinone, ben- zophenone and 1-phenyl-1,2 propanedione, trimethylbenzoyl-diphenylphosphine oxide, benzoyl peroxide.
