Compressive Strength of Three Types of Pit and Fissure Sealants (An in-Vitro Comparative Study)
Abstract:This research presents an experimental and theoretical investigation of compressive strength and stress distribution of three different types of pit and fissure sealants (PFS). The PFS had been divided into three major categories, i.e. resin-modified glass-ionomer (RMGI), resin-based PFS, and compomer Sealant, for each given type, commercial brands photac fil quick aplicap (3M ESPE), ultraseal XT hydro (Ultradent), and compoglass F (Ivoclar Vivadent) have been selected, respectively. Thirty samples, which were… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
