Abstract

Objective: to analyze fissure sealants and their stability over time. Method: systematic population-based review of 15 scientific articles. Results and Conclusion: The stability of fissure sealants over time depends on multiple factors, such as the material used, the application technique, clinical follow-up and individual patient characteristics. Resin sealants have shown higher retention, while glass ionomer sealants offer additional benefits such as fluoride release, making them useful in specific situations.
