Abstract | ||||
Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of unfilled resin based sealant (Clinpro), glass ionomer fissure sealants (Fuji Triage) and nanofilled resin based fissure sealant (Tetric N-Flow) to resist surface degradation using chewing simulator combined with thermocycling. Methodology: A total of 30 disk shaped specimens were prepared, 10 disks for each material. Surface roughness (Ra) and weight loss were quantitatively measured after 2-body wear testing by using a chewing simulator integrated with thermocycling. Data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni’s post-hoc test (P ≤ 0.05) Result: Both unfilled resin based sealant (RS) and glass ionomer fissure sealant (GI) showed statistically significant higher (Ra) than nanofilled resin based fissure sealant (NS) before aging procedure. After chewing simulator and thermocycling; there was no statistically significant difference between the (Ra) of three fissure sealant materials. As regard to weight loss (GI) showed the highest mean weight loss followed by (RS) while (NS) showed the lowest mean weight loss. Conclusion: nanofilled resin based fissure sealant showed good resistance to surface degradation compared to other sealants. | ||||
