Journal Article

A comparative clinical study of two pit and fissure sealants: 7-year results in Augusta, GA



EJ Mertz-Fairhurst, CW Fairhurst, JE Williams, VE Della-Giustina, and JD Brooks

This 7-year evaluation of the Augusta study reinforces earlier conclusions regarding the long-term retention of sealants and their efficacy in caries protection. Although more time will be required to answer all the questions about sealants, sufficient data are now available to document their efficacy as caries-preventive agents. It is imperative that the dental profession provide this safe and effective preventive technique for the public so that dental disease can either be reduced or further postponed.
