Notes:
The 2% NaF and 8% SnF2 have been used in topical fluoridation method in the dentaloffice to increase the resistance of enamel to acid dissolution. Bis-GMA based monomers have beenused for the basic materials in the dental pit and fissure sealants. Therefore, the resinous pit andfissure sealant including fluorides may increase the effect of preventing dental caries. In this study,we made a novel dental pit and fissure sealant and evaluated some properties, especially fluoriderelease. In order to make experimental pit and fissure sealant including fluoride, NaF and SnF2powder were added into self-made monomer composed of Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, UDMA and photoinitiator system by weight percent of 2% and 8% respectively. The just monomer without fluoridepowder was used for control. Uncured film thickness and depth of cure were measured according toISO specification 6874:1988 and the viscosity was measured using rheometer. The five discspecimens were made using light curing unit to evaluate fluoride releasing and each specimen wasimmersed in the artificial saliva of 10 mL. Fluoride ion concentrations in extracts were measuredfor 3 days using fluoride electrode at every 12 hrs. There was no significant difference betweenexperimental and control group in the depth of cure, uncured film thickness, and viscosity (p〉0.05).The released fluoride ion concentration was continuously retained for 72 hrs
