Abstract

Introduction:Selection of the type of pit and fissure sealants for a specific clinical case becomes a priority task against preventive dentistry because it may effect on the long-term treatment resultand the patient satisfaction with the result of the work Material and methods:The three types of sealant used are, Ultraseal XT hydro, pinky flow (compomer), and Ionoseal, where all the three types of sealants are light cured. The pellets were prepared by a 3 x 5mm mold and light cured by the 570 nm light curing unit by the investigator himself. Total of 15 samples were divided into 3 groups. The universal testing machine (INSTRON E3000) for the evaluation of shear bond strength Results: The results showed Ionoseal mean rank (12.80) has the maximum shear bond strength compared to other materials and is statistically significant (p<0.05). The least is the compomer with the mean rank of 4. Conclusion: The Shear Bond strength of the Ionoseal sealant was found to be superior to that of the Ultra seal XT and compomer.
