Previous studies have shown that occlusal dental caries can be arrested with sealants. Radiographic monitoring must be performed to ensure success. Standardized sequential bitewing radiographs over a 10-year interval of four patients who had sealed composite restorations placed without caries removal were digitized and analyzed using the CADIA algorithm. CADIA values for the 10-year period were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and showed no significant change in radiographic density for this interval (P > 0.05), which is suggestive of arrested dental caries.
先前的研究表明，咬合面龋齿可以通过窝沟封闭剂得到控制。必须进行影像学监测以确保成功。对4名未去除龋齿就进行复合树脂修复体封闭的患者，在10年期间拍摄的标准化连续咬合翼片进行数字化处理，并使用CADIA算法进行分析。使用方差分析（ANOVA）对这10年期间的CADIA值进行分析，结果显示在此期间影像学密度没有显著变化（P>0.05），这表明龋齿得到了控制。
