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
