The effect of air‐polishing occlusal surfaces on the penetration of fissures by a sealant

Abstract: Summary. An in vitro study was performed to assess the depth of penetration of a fissure sealant after cleaning the occlusal surfaces with an air‐polishing unit, and to compare the results with those obtained after cleaning with pumice and water and after no cleaning. Forty‐six clinically non‐carious premolars and permanent molars were randomly distributed into three groups. Following cleaning, etching and fissure sealing, the teeth were sectioned. Each section was examined under a light reflecting microscope… Show more

“…Air polishing, air abrasion, lasers and enameloplasty with a bur have all been trialled but all require further equipment, and change the enamel surface i.e., they are invasive. The change in retention is not significant enough to recommend them.…”

“…5 El grado de microfiltración de los sellantes puede determinar su éxito en la odontología restauradora, es decir a mayor grado de microfiltración menor éxito y permanencia en boca; sin embargo estos se ven expuestos a fracasar por varios motivos, entre los cuales se encuentran la aplicación inadecuada del sellante y el uso al azar de técnicas de preparación de superficie, previa a la aplicación del sellante dental, que podrían ser controlados por un operador entrenado. [14][15][16] Lo que busca esta investigación es saber cúal de las técnicas de preparación de superficie dental más utilizadas actualmente y realizadas en este estudio produce menor grado de microfiltración en sellantes dentales.…”

“…Diferentes estudios han demostrado distintos efectos del aire abrasivo en la unión y la microfiltración de selladores de fisuras. Brockman et al 17 no pudo encontrar ninguna diferencia en la eficacia de sellado después de la preparación de la piedra pómez y aire abrasión, sin embargo Brocklehurst et al 18 mostraron la mayor profundidad de penetración para el método de aire abrasivo. Hatibovil et al 19 mostraron que el aire abrasivo y el grabado ácido es el método de preparación más eficaz antes de utilizar selladores de fisuras.…”

“…For increasing the effect of sealants, various preparation methods has been suggested: Using Pumice to clean tooth,[1] polish system through the air,[2] to thrust sodium bi-carbonate through spraying water on dental surfaces using air-abrasive technique, shaping tooth enamel with laser and etching the enamel with phosphoric acid. [34] Also, it has been reported that cleaning the enamel before etching and bonding can increase the sealant retention. [5] Some studies indicated that using air-abrasion without using additional acid etching is not able to show acceptable bond strength.…”
