ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to evaluate shear bond strength and microleakage of a new self-etch fissure sealant containing S-PRG filler (BeautiSealant). Fourty-five premolars were randomly divided into three groups: SEPBS group (Self-etching primer + BeautiSealant), AEBS group (Phosphoric acid etching + BeautiSealant), AECP group (Phosphoric acid etching + ClinproTM sealant). For the shear bond strength test, microcylinders of fissure sealant were bonded to prepared buccal surfaces of teeth and shear bond strengths were measured by a universal testing machine. For the microleakage test, sealants were applicated on each occlusal fissure of teeth. All teeth surface were coated with finger nail varnish, with the exception of a 1.0 mm window around the sealant margins. The teeth were immersed in 2% methylene blue solution for 24 hours and then rinsed in water. The teeth were then embedded in resin and cut buccolingually along the tooth axis and observed with a stereomicroscope to determine the degree of microleakage. SEPBS group demonstrated lower bond strength in comparison with that of AEBS and AECP groups (p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed between AEBS and AECP groups. There was no statistically significant difference in degree of microleakage among three groups.
