AI Article Synopsis
- Fluoride ions play a crucial role in preventing tooth decay by maintaining the mineral balance in dental tissues and exhibiting antibacterial properties.
- Many fissure sealants on the market now incorporate fluoride to enhance their effectiveness.
- An in vitro study found that while all tested sealants released fluoride consistently over 14 weeks, Fissurit and Delton exhibited the most significant release in the first 48 hours, with Delton releasing the highest total amount of fluoride overall.
Article Abstract
The intensity of the cariostatic activity of fluoride ions can be attributed to their multidirectional influence on the caries process. They are an irreplaceable factor that helps sustain mineral balance of dental tissues, simultaneously demonstrating antibacterial properties. As a consequence, many manufacturers of fissure sealants include fluoride ions in their products. The aim of this in vitro study was to determine long-term fluoride release from four fissure sealants (Conseal F, Fissurit FX, Delton Fs+, Admira Seal). During a 14-week-long observation, all the materials showed a relatively constant level of F- release; however, it is crucial to mention that within the first 48h, the most significant increase in fluoride release was found for Fissurit and Delton sealants. Based on the overall assessment, the highest total amount of the released fluoride ions was observed for Delton, and the lowest level was reported for Admira Seal.
