Comparison between ionomeric sealants and resin sealants in the pediatric dentistry area of the Dr. René Puig Bentz Dental Clinic of the Pedro Henríquez Ureña National University.

Pit and fissure sealants are essential materials used to prevent the accumulation of bacteria on the occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth.
The accumulation of bacteria on the occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth prevents the formation of acids and therefore their role is to fill the pits and fissures in a preventive manner and they are mainly used in the paediatric area of dentistry. The objective of this research was to compare the significant efficiency of ionomer sealants and resin sealants in the paediatric dentistry area of the Dr. Rene Puig Bentz Dental Clinic of the Pedro Henríquez Ureña National University. To achieve this objective, a sample of 50 teeth was analysed, divided into two groups: group A with the resin-based sealant and group B with the ionomer-based sealant, where the retention and setting times of both sealants were evaluated. The results obtained showed that immediate retention was 100.0% for both resin-based and ionomer sealants, with no cases of partial retention. In terms of placement time, the mean placement time for the resin sealants was 3.54 minutes, the mean placement time for the resin sealants was 3.54 minutes, and the mean placement time for the ionomer sealants was 3.54 minutes. The mean placement time for ionomer sealants was 6.71 minutes. The resin sealants were found to provide a good seal in 95.8% of cases and a partial seal in 4.2% of cases during the first month. The same results were obtained for the ionomer sealant. In terms of post-operative control, 100% of cases with resin sealants remained at 2 months, while 79.2% of cases with ionomer sealants remained at 2 months and 20.8% at 1 month. Fisher's exact test showed a p-value of 0.049645, indicating a significant association between sealant type and durability. On the basis of the results obtained, it was concluded that the ionomer sealants in the controls did not show greater durability, shorter placement time and less immediate disadaptation than the resin sealants.

窝沟封闭剂是预防后牙咬合面细菌积聚的关键材料。后牙咬合面细菌的积聚会阻止酸的形成，因此窝沟封闭剂的作用在于以预防性方式填充窝沟，它们主要应用于儿童牙科领域。本研究旨在比较雷内·皮乌·本茨博士牙科诊所儿童牙科领域使用的玻璃离子树脂封闭剂和树脂封闭剂的显著效率。为实现此目标，对50颗牙齿样本进行了分析，分为两组：A组使用树脂基封闭剂，B组使用玻璃离子基封闭剂，评估了两种封闭剂的保留和固化时间。所得结果显示，树脂基和玻璃离子基封闭剂均实现了100.0%的即时保留，无部分保留情况。在放置时间方面，树脂封闭剂的平均放置时间为3.54分钟，玻璃离子封闭剂的平均放置时间也为3.54分钟，而玻璃离子封闭剂的平均放置时间为6.71分钟。在第一个月内，树脂封闭剂在95.8%的病例中提供了良好的封闭，在4.2%的病例中提供了部分封闭。同样，玻璃离子封闭剂也获得了相同的结果。在术后控制方面，100%的树脂封闭剂病例在两个月后仍保持良好，而79.2%的玻璃离子封闭剂病例在两个月后保持良好，20.8%的病例在一月后保持良好。Fisher确切检验显示p值为0.049645，表明封闭剂类型与耐用性之间存在显著关联。基于所得结果，得出结论：在控制条件下，玻璃离子封闭剂并未显示出比树脂封闭剂更佳的耐用性、更短的放置时间和更低的即时不适性。
