| Abstract--- Aim: This study was conducted to clinically assess the retention rate and caries inhibition potential of self etch giomer-based sealant compared to total etch resin-based sealant in permanent molars with non-cavitated carious fissures over one year. Methodology: A total of 30 participants with non-cavitated carious fissures were randomly separated into two groups (n=15): Group (1) received self-etch giomer-based BeautiSealant® while Group (2) received total-etch resin-based UltraSeal XT™ plus. Sealant retention was evaluated using visual-tactile examination while VistaCam iX Proof fluorescent camera was used for caries progression detection at baseline, after 3, 6 and 12 months. Chi-Squared test was used in the statistical analysis. Results: Regarding sealant retention and caries progression, no statistically significant differences were found across various follow-up durations between the two materials. Conclusions: Both self-etch giomer-based and total-etch resin-based sealants showed similar clinical performance and caries preventive effect after 12 months of follow-up. Clinical Significance: Self-etch giomer-based and total-etch resin-based sealants are highly recommended to be used in permanent molars with non-cavitated carious fissures. | ||||
