Objective: This study aims to evaluate the pit and fissures sealants effectiveness when applying for Undergraduate Dental students at the University of Southern Santa Catarina (Unisul), after at least 6 months, as well as to estimate caries prevalence into participants. Methods: This is an observational and cross sectional study, with a non-probabilistic and intentional sample and includes individuals who received sealants in permanent teeth at the clinics of the degree course in Dentistry. The participants were identified by the medical records at Unisul. The effectiveness of pit and fissures sealants was assessed by analysis of retention standards, and will follow validated script. The prevalence of caries in sealed teeth was assessed by ICDAS II index. The sociodemographic variables age, sex and monthly household income the considered. A researcher training was conducted by supervisor of research in clinics at the University of Southern Santa Catarina. The descriptive analysis and the Chi square test was tested and p value ≤0,05. The project was approved by ethical counsel at the Unisul University by number 1,824,523. Results: The response rate was 94.7% (n = 18). The sample was 2/3 of female (72.2% CI95% 49.1, 87.5), 60% received 3 or less Brazilian monthly household income, highest proportion of participants had sealed their teeth at least 9 months. Less than 2/3 of the sample received Fluroshield as restorative material, with relative isolation being the most prevalent (72.2% CI 95% 49.1; 87.5). The prevalence of some loss of retention was 50% (95% CI 29.0, 71.0). Among the 57 teeth evaluated, 70.2% had total retention. The teeth most affected by loss of retention were maxillary left second molars (40%). More than 2/3 of the sample did not presented dental caries (88.9% CI 95%, 96.9%). No significant associations were found. Conclusion: Although the patients had no caries recurrence, half of the sample presented some loss of retention of the sealants, even though to a greater number of total retentions between the teeth were present. This reflects the importance and attention to the planning and correct application of sealing techniques by dentistry students.
