“…A reason for this situation might be the use of a potentially mechanically stronger high-viscosity glass-ionomer, the different application procedure that pushes the glass-ionomer into the pits and fissures with a finger (ART) and the fact that the generally accepted difference in retention rates between the two sealant materials has been derived from comparing results from studies that were not comparable and that had applied different retention assessment criteria. 6 However, if a high-viscosity glass-ionomer ART sealant is compared to a CR sealant in one and the same study over time, using the same retention assessment criteria and performed in children of similar age, then a true comparison between the two types of sealant is possible. Comparing the results of such studies gives the following outcome: no significant difference at all 1-to 5-year interval periods (mean age: 7.8 years); 20 higher retention survival rate for CR sealants (81%) than for ART sealants (56%) after 4 years (mean age: 8 years); 12 and higher retention survival rate for CR sealants (73%) than for ART sealants (50%) after 2 years (mean age: 7.8 years).…”

“…5,6 Resin-based sealants usually present higher retention rates than glass-ionomer (GIC) based sealants. 6 Despite differences in their retention, systematic reviews have reported no evidence of caries-preventive superiority of either material.…”

“…Glass-ionomer is regarded by many as unsuitable material for sealing pits and fissures (Frencken and Wolke 2010). A meta-analysis has shown that resin composite sealants have longer retention times than any other dental material (Kühnisch et al 2012). Clinical trials involving glass-ionomercement-based sealants demonstrated retention rates of only 15.6% after an observation time of two years.…”

“…The properties required of an ideal pit and fissure sealant include anticariogenicity, biocompatibility, good marginal integrity and retention rate. 2 Among those properties, the longevity of the sealant material plays an important role in the clinical setting, 3 as it can guide the clinician with regard to the choice of different materials available. Additionally, a satisfactory goal for the clinicians might be to seal the pits and fissures with the material that presents higher retention rates, protecting the sealed teeth for the first few years after eruption when the risk of caries can be higher.…”
