Pit And Fissure Sealants -Why You Might need them -stencildent

 PIT AND FISSURE SEALANTS 

  • Pit and fissure sealants  are advocated for:

  1. Susceptible pit and fissure area of posterior teeth
  2. Pediatric patient
  3. High caries risk patient 
OBJECTIVE:
  1. Sealant is for resin to penetrate pit and fissure 
  2. Seal area against oral bacteria ,debris
RESIN SYSTEM:
  • Based on UDMA,bis-GMA
POLYMERISED BY:
  • Chemical activation -initiation,light activation
UNFILLED RESIN:
  • Colourless,tinted transparent material.
FILLED RESIN;
  • Available as tooth colored,white material
SUCCESS DEPENDS ON:
  • Obtaining ,maintaining intimate adaptation of sealant to tooth surface
SEALANT MUST BE:
  • Low viscous ,so that it flows into depth of pit and fissure



TO ENHANCE WETTING ?RETENTION
  • Tooth; 1st conditioned by etching with acid
  • Effective therapy
  • As long as sealant is well,no caries progression will occur
  • Etch and rinse ,with primer and bonding agent
PREVENTIVE -RESIN RESTORATION
  • Conservative approach
  • Minimal cavity preparation
  • Enamel -dentin bonded composite restoration and sealant application
  • High success rate compared to traditional amalgam
sealant effectiveness on cavitated lesion into dentin is limited 




Aim of this post:
Today we started on different cases to be considered before application of pit and fissure sealant ,objectives,resin system,polymerised by ,difference between unfilled resin and filled resin ,then factors that determine success of sealant and short note on preventive resin restoration .If this post helped you do let me know in the comment section below.
