ClinConnect Summary

In the investigator's study the comparator material will be BioCoat® by Premier® ; new bioactive resin pits and fissures sealant featuring SmartCap™ Technology. SmartCap™ Technology utilizes patented semi-permeable resin microcapsules. In BioCoat, the rechargeable SmartCap microcapsules are filled with ionic solutions of fluoride, calcium and phosphate, which diffuse in and out of the sealant. Greater fluoride uptake in the presence of calcium and phosphate ions is assumed.

With limited evidence based information in literature about using bioactive fissure sealants in susceptible fissures ...
