Popis: Objective: To compare retention, preventive effectiveness and longevity of two different high-viscosity glass-ionomer sealants Ketac Molar ® and Maxxion R ® in the sealing of erupting and out-of-occlusion first permanent molar in children aged 5-7 years. Material and Methods: Children with past caries experience with healthy erupting first permanent molarwere included in the study. Teeth 16 and 46 were sealed with Ketac Molar ® and teeth 26 and 36 were sealed with Maxxion R ® . After 8 months, the retention of sealants was evaluated using the following criteria: total retention; presence of sealant in two thirds of the occlusal surface; presence of sealant in one third of the surface; and total absence of the sealant. Results: Statistical difference between materials was observed, and Ketac Molar ® retention was superior to that of Maxxion R ® (p
