OBJECTIVE To examine in vitro orthodontic bonding sealants combined with daily fluoride (NaF) rinse on caries-like lesion depths. METHODS Permanent molar teeth (n = 40) were randomly divided into four treatment groups: 1: Pro-Seal, 2: Light Bond, 3: Pro-Seal with NaF rinsing, and 4: Light Bond with NaF rinsing. Orthodontic sealant material was placed on buccal surfaces of each group and surrounded by acid-resistant varnish on the buccal and a control window on the lingual. Each group underwent synthetic saliva rinsing and lesion initiation. Groups 3 and 4 were subjected to 0.05% NaF for 1 minute per day. Artificial caries were created in vitro. The specimens in each treatment group were sectioned and mean lesion depth was assessed with polarized light microscopy (water imbibition). Lesion depth was compared among the treament groups using ANOVA and Duncan's Multiple Range Test. RESULTS The ProSeal and Light Bond treatment groups exhibited significant reductions in mean lesion depths as compared to the controls (P < 0.05). ProSeal with NaF rinsing and Light Bond with NaF rinsing treatment groups exhibited significant reductions in mean lesion depth when compared to Pro Seal and Light Bond treatment without fluoride rinsing and controls (P < 0.05). The enamel-resin interfaces of all treatment groups were intact and exhibited no caries-like lesion formation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008963 Molar The most posterior teeth on either side of the jaw, totaling eight in the deciduous dentition (2 on each side, upper and lower), and usually 12 in the permanent dentition (three on each side, upper and lower). They are grinding teeth, having large crowns and broad chewing surfaces. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p821) Molars

D001840 Dental Bonding An adhesion procedure for orthodontic attachments, such as plastic DENTAL CROWNS. This process usually includes the application of an adhesive material (DENTAL CEMENTS) and letting it harden in-place by light or chemical curing.

D003731 Dental Caries Localized destruction of the tooth surface initiated by decalcification of the enamel followed by enzymatic lysis of organic structures and leading to cavity formation. If left unchecked, the cavity may penetrate the enamel and dentin and reach the pulp.

D016910 Orthodontic Brackets Small metal or ceramic attachments used to fasten an arch wire. These attachments are soldered or welded to an orthodontic band or cemented directly onto the teeth. Bowles brackets, edgewise brackets, multiphase brackets, ribbon arch brackets, twin-wire brackets, and universal brackets are all types of orthodontic brackets.

D019279 Resin Cements Dental cements composed either of polymethyl methacrylate or dimethacrylate, produced by mixing an acrylic monomer liquid with acrylic polymers and mineral fillers. The cement is insoluble in water and is thus resistant to fluids in the mouth, but is also irritating to the dental pulp. It is used chiefly as a luting agent for fabricated and temporary restorations. (Jablonski's Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p159) Resin Cement,Cement, Resin,Cements, Resin
