Association Between Sealant and Early Impairment of First Molars in 6–14‐Year‐Olds: A 9‐Year Follow‐Up Using South Korean Cohort Data
The study findings suggest that applying sealants on the first molars is important to prevent early dental caries development and prolong the functional integrity of first molars. In addition, we found that maxillary first molars were more susceptible to early impairment than mandibular first molars, even when sealant was applied.
