Comparative Evaluation of Sonic Vibration and Heat Preheating Techniques on the Retention and Efficacy of Flowable Composite Resin Sealants: A Quasi-experimental Study
Both the heat and sonic vibration methods effectively reduced the viscosity of sealants, improving their retention and adaptation. However, sonic vibrations demonstrated superior long-term performance, particularly for deep and narrow fissures.
