Relationship between DIAGNOdent values and sealant penetration depth on occlusal fissures [PDF]

Clinical Oral Investigations, 2009
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the relationship between laser fluorescence values and sealant penetration depth on occlusal fissures. One hundred and sixty-six permanent molars were selected and divided into four groups, which were each treated using a different sealant (two clear and two opaque).
