The present study was conducted to test the in vitro performance of four sealants with different characteristics (highly and lowly filled, self-etching features).MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty human teeth (lower incisors and premolars) were randomly divided into following sealant test groups: ProSeal(TM), LightBond(TM), OrthoSolo(TM), and Seal&Protect(®). Twenty untreated teeth served as a control group. Tooth brushing was conducted for a period of time simulating 12, 18, and 24 months.
