Two null hypotheses were tested: (1) All tested materials allow the transillumination of sealed occlusal carious lesions. (2) There are no differences in marginal adaptation before and after simultaneous fatigue and thermocycling. Methods: Forty extracted human molars with early occlusal caries lesions were randomly divided into five equal groups. Near-infrared transillumination images of cleaned occlusal surfaces were captured before and after applying the following sealants: (I) OptiBond FL (adhesive alone), (II) OptiBond FL (primer and adhesive) (Kerr Corp., Brea, CA, USA), (III) Scotchbond Universal (3M, St. Paul, MN, USA) combined with OptiBond FL adhesive, (IV) Fissurit (VOCO GmbH, Cuxhaven, Germany), (V) Helioseal Clear (Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein). A scanning electron microscope was used to assess marginal adaptation before and after simultaneous fatigue and thermocycling. The percentages of continuous margins (CMs) were quantified before and after the fatigue test and statistically compared (Shapiro-Wilk Normality test, two-way ANOVA with Fisher's post hoc test). Results: Helioseal Clear and Fissurit were fully transparent under near-infrared transillumination. The percentage of closed margins significantly decreased after loading in one group: OptiBond FL primer application before adhesive application significantly reduced marginal adaptation. Conclusion: OptiBond FL (adhesive), Scotchbond Universal with OptiBond FL (adhesive), Fissurit, and Helioseal Clear provided excellent marginal adaptation. However, using OptiBond FL primer on enamel negatively impacted adaptation. Helioseal Clear and Fissurit, as transparent sealants, may allow lesion monitoring using an 850 nm transillumination camera.
