Article Synopsis
- Dental sealants are used to prevent cavities and were placed on children (ages 6-15) as part of an international service-learning program in rural Mexico.
- After 1-4 years, sealant survival rates showed that 60.6% to 96.4% of sealants on sound teeth and 55.6% to 94.2% on enamel caries lesions remained intact, indicating high retention.
- The study concluded that retention rates for sealants were consistent with existing literature, showing no significant difference between sealants on sound surfaces and those with enamel caries.
