Effect of an Antibacterial Monomer on the Antibacterial Activity of a Pit-and-Fissure Sealant. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Resin-based pit-and-fissure sealants are often used to form a barrier on the occlusal surface of molars to treat caries lesions; however, bacteria can remain in the pit and fissures without detection, increasing the risk of secondary caries.
