BACKGROUND
Most of the detected increment in dental caries among children above the age of six years and adolescents is confined to occlusal surfaces of posterior permanent molars. Dental sealants and fluoride varnishes are much used to prevent caries. As the effectiveness of both interventions in controlling caries as compared with no intervention has been demonstrated previously, this review aimed to evaluate their relative effectiveness. It updates a review published originally in 2006 and…

The results of the studies indicate a protective effect of pit and fissure sealants, particularly for children and adolescents at high caries risk, while the economic evaluation suggests a tendency for cost savings in this group and a general expansion of the intervention cannot be recommended.
