| dc.description.abstract | OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate after two years, the survival rate of glass ionomer cement (GIC) sealants placed in primary molars of six to eight year-olds and as part of proximal atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) restoration.
DESIGN:
A longitudinal clinical study.
SETTING:
Matungulu/Kangundo rural divisions, Machakos district, Kenya.
SUBJECT:
A total of 804 six to eight year-olds from rural Kenya received a sealant as part of a proximal restoration placed in a primary molar using the atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach.
RESULTS:
The two-year cumulative survival of the sealants was 10.9%, and the survival of the sealants was not significantly affected by the GIC material brand and the tooth-isolation method used. However, slightly more sealants survived when Fuji IX and rubber dam tooth- isolation method were used.
CONCLUSION:
The two-year survival rate of the sealants was poor and was not significantly influenced by the GIC material or the tooth-isolation method used. | en |
