Four different commercially available sealants were placed in caries-free permanent premolars and molars for a total of 381 teeth in 53 young participants. The volumetric loss of sealant material was evaluated over a two-year period using a tooth replica technique previously published. The pattern of progressive sealant loss was similar for all materials and for molars and premolars. Approximately 50% of the applied sealant volume was lost after one month, which was the first sampling interval. Subsequent loss occurred at a reduced rate. At the end of two years, the overall mean sealant loss was approximately 75%. There were no consistent statistically significant differences between materials regarding volumetric loss when expressed as a percentage of applied sealant volume.
