TI  - Effect of LED curing on marginal integrity of an ormocer-based sealant.
PG  - 53-7
AB  - PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the microleakage of a light 
      cured, ormocer-based fissure sealant when photopolymerized with 2 different light 
      emitting diode (LED) curing units and a conventional quartz-tungsten halogen 
      (QTH) light-curing unit. METHODS: Thirty freshly extracted, unerupted human third 
      molars from 9 adolescent were randomly assigned into 3 groups (N=10/group). Pits 
      and fissures were acid etched for 30 seconds, rinsed for 15 seconds with an 
      air-water spray, and air-dried. An ormocer-based fissure sealant material (Admira 
      Seal) was applied to all fissures. In group 1, the sealant was photopolymerized 
      with a Smart Light LED curing unit (Dentsply) for 10 seconds. Another LED curing 
      unit (Elipar II) and a conventional QTH curing unit (Hilux) were used in groups 2 
      and 3 for 10 and 30 seconds, respectively. Specimens were immersed in 0.5% basic 
      fuchsin for 24 hours, sectioned and examined under a stereomicroscope, and scored 
      for marginal microleakage. RESULTS: Statistical analysis of microleakage scores 
      revealed no significant difference among the groups tested (P>.05, Kruskal-Wallis 
      test). CONCLUSION: The tested LED curing units may provide reduction in total 
      application time without comprising marginal integrity of the ormocer-based 
      sealant.
