Goldman A, et al. - The researchers performed a study on the cavitated dentine carious lesion preventive capabilities of composite resin (CR) (reference group) and atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) high-viscosity glass-ionomer cement (HVGIC) sealants compared to supervised toothbrushing (STB) in high-risk first permanent molars. In this 3-year cost-effectiveness analysis, the major assumption was that both scenarios had the same high effectiveness rate experienced by STB under study conditions. They, however, pointed to the value of additional research on the benefits of adopting STB as a long-term venture in a general population of school children.
