The aim of this observational split-mouth study was to compare the retention and caries protective effect four different sealant materials in children aged 6-13 years during a 2-year follow-up period.Eighty were included study, which conducted Blato (Korčula island), Croatia. Each participant received at least two on caries-free permanent molars quadrants. Sealant (M1 - glass-ionomer cement; M2, M4 resin-based filled sealants; M3 unfilled sealant) delivered random order.The results showed that M2 (30 teeth, 46.2%) (27 46.6%) statistically significantly higher number teeth with total after period, comparison M1 (10 19.2%) or (12 20.7%) (p < .001). There no significant difference occurrence between groups material totally retained.According better period while both sealants demonstrated protection against dental if retained occlusal surface.
