Materials: And: Methodology: Forty-eight disc-shaped specimens of each material were immersed in deionized water to determine the fluoride release utilizing a fluoride ion-selective electrode. After 21 days, 8 specimens were soaked in 0.22\% Sodium Fluoride solution for 2 min; 8 specimens were coated with 1.23\% Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride (APF) gel for 4 min, and the fluoride-recharging ability was evaluated for 40 days. Data were analyzed using one way-ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc tests. Results: Total fluoride release over the 21-day period was: Fuji VII \&gt; BeautiSealant \&gt; Helioseal F, (P = 0.000). After refluoridation of the specimens with 0.22\% Sodium Fluoride solution, the cumulative fluoride release during the 40-day period for each material was: BeautiSealant \&gt; Fuji VII \&gt; Helioseal (P = 0.000). After exposure to 1.23\% APF gel, the cumulative fluoride release during the 40-day period for each material was: BeautiSealant \&gt; Fuji VII \&gt; Helioseal F (P = 0.000). Conclusion: Glass ionomer-based sealants (Fuji VII) exhibited higher initial fluoride release whilst the surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer filler containing sealant (BeautiSealant) demonstrated superior fluoride recharging properties.</span></p>},
