The buffering capacity and inhibitory effects on enamel demineralization of two commercially available dental sealants were evaluated in this study. The effects of filler particles were also examined. Disks of enamel and cured sealant materials of BeautiSealant (silica or S?PRG filler) or Teethmate F?1 were incubated in lactic acid solutions (pH 4.0) for 1–6 d.
