Resin-based fissure sealant vs Glass-ionomer cement-based fissure sealants
Retention-to-caries risk ratio (RCR) · Patients with fissure-sealed permanent molar teeth
In the sensitivity analysis, the difference in retention-to-caries risk ratio between resin- and glass-ionomer cement-based sealants was not statistically significant (p = 0.069; ungraded).
