Treating Pit-and-Fissure Caries
Journal of Dental Research, 2015For shallow or moderately deep pit-and-fissure lesions, various treatment options are available: (1) noninvasive treatments (e.g., fluoride application, antibacterial treatments, oral hygiene advice) avoid any dental hard tissue removal; (2) microinvasive treatments (e.g., sealing) remove only a few micrometers of hard tissues by etching; and minimally

Prevention of Dental Caries by the Use of Pit-and-Fissure Sealants
Journal of Public Health Policy, 1987Dental sealants are plastic resins that are applied to caries-susceptible pit-and-fissured tooth surfaces to prevent decay. Although there has been an overall decline in caries prevalence among United States schoolchildren, there has been a relative increase in the proportion of carious lesions occurring on the pit-and-fissured surfaces.

Caries-inhibiting Effect of Microencapsulated Active Components in Pit and Fissure Sealants
Operative Dentistry, 2022SUMMARY Objective The aim of the present in vitro study was to examine the caries-inhibiting effect of a pit and fissure sealant (PFS) containing ion-releasing microcapsules under cariogenic conditions in a biofilm artificial mouth.

In vitro assessment of laser efficiency for caries prevention in pits and fissures
Microscopy Research and Technique, 2011AbstractThis study aimed to assess the in vitro efficacy of the lasers Er:YAG, Nd:YAG, and CO2 operating in the low energy mode for caries prevention in pits and fissures. Forty‐five caries‐free enamel occlusal sections were randomly divided into three groups: G1 − Er:YAG (80 mJ/2Hz); G2 − Nd:YAG Laser (1W and 10 Hz); and G3 − CO2 Laser (0.4 W and 20 ...

Pit and Fissure Sealants in High‐Caries‐Risk Individuals
Journal of Dental Education, 2001This paper examines the evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of sealants in high‐caries‐risk children and discusses the Research Triangle Institute/University of North Carolina's (RTI/UNC) systematic review. The strict RTI/UNC protocol limited the number of sealant studies that could be included.

The Effect of Pit and Fissure Sealants on the Detection of Occlusal Caries in vitro
European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry, 2007To compare, in vitro, the effect of placing opaque (OPS) and clear fluorescing (CFS) pit and fissure sealants (PFS) on the detection of occlusal caries (OCD).Occlusal surfaces of 67 extracted molars were examined under standardised conditions by 6 final year undergraduate dental students, using visual, bitewing radiography, transillumination (FOTI ...

Pit and Fissure Sealants as a Viable Preventive Tool for Dental Caries
Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, 2021Dental caries remains to be a global disease burden and the current ways of preventing it are throughmaintenance of good oral hygiene, watching over the diet intake and pit and fissure sealant application. Pitand fissure sealants are still underused in dental practice.

Using Air-Abrasive Technology to Diagnose and Restore PIT and Fissure Caries
The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1995National Institute of Dental Research surveys indicate that the incidence of pit and fissure caries constitutes a higher proportion of the total caries incidence among U.S. teens and children than in the past. Air-abrasive technology may provide a more conservative alternative in the diagnosis and treatment of pit and fissure caries than traditional ...

Strategies to Avoid Underdiagnosing Pit-and-Fissure Caries.
Compendium of continuing education in dentistry (Jamesburg, N.J. : 1995), 2018Traditionally, testing for whether pit-and-fissure caries should be restored involved probing with a sharp explorer and evaluating resistance to withdrawal (ie, "stick"). Alternative visual methods of evaluation and classification have been proposed, validated, and accepted formally in the core curriculum on caries management in both Europe and North ...
