title: Influence of prophylaxis on the microleakage of sealants: in vitro study.
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of prophylaxis on the sealants microleakage in 30 premolars divided into: Group A, Group B and Group C. The teeth were analyzed using the optical microscope (OM) and at scanning electron microscope (SEM). There was a statistical significant difference among the groups regarding the presence of microleakage, but not with the presence of tags.
