Dental sealant longevity in a cohort of young U.S. naval personnel

Article Abstract:

Dental records from 1,123 personnel who entered U.S. naval service in 1997 are analyzed to assess the longevity of dental sealants placed in naval personnel. The number of sealants provided, the number of sealants that failed over the observation period (1997-2001), the dates of sealant failure and the longevity of sealants placed during and after recruit training are determined.
