Pit and Fissure Sealants Today

Pit and fissure sealants are a measure to prevent caries lesions that, although they have a proven effectiveness and endorsed by science, still do not penetrate deeply into day-to-day dentistry. In paediatric dentistry we recommend and indicate sealing both permanent and primary teeth, especially occlusal surfaces susceptible to accumulating biofilm that under the right conditions can trigger demineralisation and caries injury. We currently have easy-to-use materials, with excellent properties and very good durability. Sealants are another ally in the prevention of caries lesions. In this presentation you will learn about the history, indications and all the evidence behind pit and fissure sealants.
