A comparative evaluation of icon® resin infiltrant and embraceTM wet bond as pits and fissure sealant: A one year follow up study.

Occlusal surface of posterior teeth are highly susceptible to caries due of their anatomy. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate and compare the retention and caries prevention ability of resin infiltrant ICON® with the moisture tolerant self - priming resin EmbraceTM Wet Bond. A non- significant difference was observed (p > 0.05) for both materials with respect to retention after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months intervals. A significant difference was found (p<0.03) between ICON® resin infiltrant vs EmbraceTM Wet Bond with respect to the retention after 12 months.
