Table 3: Effect of fluoride release from sealant material on enamel demineralization and wall lesion frequency
| Sealant | Mean outer lesion depth (micrometers) | Wall lesion frequency | Reduction in outer lesion depth | |||
| Group A (nonfluoridated pit and fissure sealant) | 214.44 ± 97.44 | 0% | 3% when compared with fluoride-releasing sealant | |||
| Group B (fluoridated pit and fissure sealant) | 222.73 ± 80.66 | 0% | ||||
| Group C (glass ionomer pit and fissure sealant) | 155.99 ± 37.87 | 0% | 27% when compared with conventional nonfluoride-containing seal style="border-bottom:solid 1px #000000;"ant 30% when compared with the fluoride- releasing sealant group |
