The ability of the resin sealant to thoroughly fill pits, fissures, and/or morphological defects and remain completely intact and bonded to enamel surface is the primary basis for its caries prevention. AIM: The present study evaluated and compared the retention rates and development of caries in permanent molars of children sealed with amorphous calcium phosphate-containing (Aegis™) and moisture-tolerant fluoride-releasing (Embrace WetBond™) sealant over a period of 1 year. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: This was a double-blind, split-mouth, randomized controlled trial among children aged 6-9 years. METHODS: Sixty-eight permanent mandibular first molars in 34 children were randomly assigned to be sealed with Aegis™ or Embrace Wetbond™ sealant. The follow-up examinations were conducted at 3, 6, and 12 months for evaluating the retention and development of caries. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: SPSS version 16.0 was used for the analysis. Within-group comparison of retention and development of caries at 3, 6, and 12 months was evaluated using the Friedman's test. RESULTS: The final sample was 32 children with 64 teeth. At 12 months, 23 of 32 (72%) sealants were completely retained in Aegis™, whereas 21 of 32 (65.6%) were retained in Embrace Wetbond™ group. There was no significant difference in the retention rates of Aegis™ and Embrace Wetbond™ sealants at 12 months (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Aegis™ was superior to Embrace Wetbond™ sealant as Aegis™ exhibited higher retention and lower caries scores.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":4.007333185232471,"endowment":4.007333185232471,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"30804314","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2916084226","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":8.3022,"citation_percentile":0.98351708,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2019,"count":3},{"year":2020,"count":27},{"year":2021,"count":13},{"year":2022,"count":5},{"year":2023,"count":1},{"year":2024,"count":2},{"year":2025,"count":1},{"year":2026,"count":2}],"oa_status":"gold","license":"cc-by-nc-sa","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/jisppd.jisppd_173_18","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/jisppd.jisppd_173_18","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30804314","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Dental Health and Care Utilization","Dental materials and restorations","Dental Erosion and Treatment","Calcium Phosphates","Child","Dental Caries","Double-Blind Method","Female","Fluorides","Humans","Male","Pit and Fissure Sealants","Time Factors"],"mesh_terms":["Calcium Phosphates","Child","Dental Caries","Double-Blind Method","Female","Fluorides","Humans","Male","Pit and Fissure Sealants","Time Factors"],"keywords":["Sealant","Dentistry","Medicine","Molar","Fluoride","Enamel paint","Randomized controlled trial","Retention rate","Surgery","Chemistry","Children","Retention","Amorphous Calcium Phosphate","Moisture-tolerant Sealant"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-18T16:48:13.385546Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
