Study Shows Fissure Sealants' Effectiveness in Preventing Caries in Children with and without MIH

Posted: December 18, 2024
A cross-sectional study evaluated the effectiveness of fissure sealants (FSs) in 8- to 10-year-olds with and without molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH). The study found that 59.0% of children had FSs, with varying levels of retention. Caries experience was low, with FSs showing a significant caries-protective effect in both groups. Fully retained sealants had the strongest protective effect. This study highlights the importance of FSs in preventing caries in children with and without MIH.
