The visibility of clear and opaque fissure sealants. 1989

W P Rock, and A J Potts, and M D Marchment, and A J Clayton-Smith, and M A Galuszka

Results are reported of a double-blind trial to assess the accuracy with which three examiners identified an opaque and a clear fissure sealant. The combined identification error rate for opaque resin was only 1.4%, whilst for clear resin it was 22.8%. The difference was highly significant (P less than 0.0001). Significant differences were also found in the accuracy with which the three dentists identified each type of resin. The most common error was to identify the presence of clear resin on an untreated tooth.

D015588 Observer Variation The failure by the observer to measure or identify a phenomenon accurately, which results in an error. Sources for this may be due to the observer's missing an abnormality, or to faulty technique resulting in incorrect test measurement, or to misinterpretation of the data. Two varieties are inter-observer variation (the amount observers vary from one another when reporting on the same material) and intra-observer variation (the amount one observer varies between observations when reporting more than once on the same material).
