Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the remineralization effects of fluoride-containing sealant on the artificially created enamel carious lesions. The fluoride release from the specimen of fluoride-containing sealants, the effect on enamel acid solubility and micro-hardness from the experimental sealants when applied to carious enamel surfaces were investigated. The obtained results were as follows; 1. Fluoride was a rapid rate of release during the first day, with the amount diminishing with time. The amount of fluoride released from Fuji Ionomer type III was higher than that from Teethmate-F and Helioseal-F during the 28 days of immersion(P<0.05). 2. The enamel solubility of carious enamel surface was higher than that in the Teethmate-F, Helioseal-F, and Fuji Ionomer type III (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference with Teethmate-A and Helioseal(P>0.05). 3. The microhardness value of carious enamel surface was lowest. However, there was no significant difference between the other sealants with respect to their effects on enamel hardness(P>0.05).
