Abstract

Statement of the Problem: The purpose of placing sealants is to inhibit CARIES by physical closure of the pits and fissures of teeth. A device named DIAGNOdent is useful in detecting occlusal CARIES by employing LASER FLUORESCENCE (LF). However, there are contradictory results in the influence of sealants on LF measurements.Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of two different types of fissure sealants on LF measurements.Materials and Method: In this in vitro study, 86 extracted permanent third molars were divided randomly into two groups and clear or opaque sealant was applied on the occlusal surfaces. Two examiners performed pre and post-seal fluorescence measurements twice with one week interval by employing DIAGNOdent device. Finally, measured values were evaluated through the statistical paired t-test by means of SPSS 17 software.Results: The mean value of LF measurements increased significantly due to the application of clear sealant (p=0.001) while the statistical changes in this measurement is negligible after applying opaque sealant (p=0.311).Conclusion: Clear sealants increase the LF measured values but opaque sealants cause almost no changes. Therefore DIAGNOdent device is not reliable for detecting CARIES beneath the clear sealant.
