Abstract :The aim of this in-vitro study was evaluating the effectiveness of an S-PRG filler containing fissure sealant (Beautisealant) to inhibit enamel demineralization and to compare it with two different fluoride-containing (Helioseal-F) and non-fluoride-based (Helioseal) conventional fissure sealants, using enamel microhardness tester. Material and Methods: In this study 30 caries-free 3rd molar teeth were used. Helioseal, Helioseal-F or Beautisealant fissure sealant was applied to the buccal surfaces of the teeth and subjected to a 14-day pH cycle. Lingual surfaces were the control group. Sections were taken in the bucco-lingual direction and cross-sectional microhardness values were measured at different depths. The significance of the mean difference between the groups was examined by One Way Analysis of Variance, the significance of the difference between buccal and lingual surfaces at different depths within the groups by Dependent t-test (p<0.05). Results: It was determined that BeautiSealant fissure sealant gave statistically significantly higher values than other fissure sealants at some depths (p<0.001). When Helioseal, Helioseal-F and Beautisealant were evaluated individually, no significant difference was found between the depths in any material at different depths (p=0.784, p=0.568 and p=0.039, respectively). Conclusions: S-PRG filler containing fissure sealant is found to be the most effective in preventing demineralization.
