title: [Retention of Ultra Seal XT third generation fissure sealant in systematic pedodontic care].
abstract: The aim of the present study was to clinically evaluate Ultra Seal XT third generation light cured fissure sealant on the occlusal pits and fissures of permanent first and second molars for a period of two years. The examined population consisted of 112 Hungarian school-children, aged 8 to 14 years who presented for treatment at the Department of Dentistry for Children and Orthodontics in Budapest. The 1120 participants had a total of 247 permanent molars sealed. All teeth were monitorized and controlled after 6 months, 1 year and 2 years. Retentivity of fissure sealants were after 6 months 92.7%, one year 87.8%, two years 79.9%. These results are in accordance with data of literature. This longitudinal study showed that modern pit and fissure sealants can be applied during childhood in systematic pedodontic care. It has high retentivity and a directly proportional optimal caries-preventive effect.
