Thermocycling of Pit and Fissure Sealants

Journal of Dental Research, 1976
Two commercial pit and fissure sealants were compared in vitro for thermocyclic failure. Both products failed; however, one was three times more resistant to failure than was the other.

Pit and Fissure Sealants

2023
Newly erupted posterior teeth in both the primary and permanent dentitions are vulnerable to dental caries attack due to deep, uncoalesced, and not-so-soundly mineralized pits and fissures as compared to their matured counterparts. Therefore, it is more important to “catch them young” before it becomes too late to save them from the deleterious effects

The Effectiveness of Pit and Fissure Sealants

Journal of Public Health Dentistry, 1989
AbstractThis review addresses two major issues related to the use of pit and fissure sealants. First, the epidemiology of occlusal caries for children and adults is examined to determine if there is a basis for administering sealant programs to different age groups.

Fluoride pit and fissure sealants: a review

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, 2000
There are two methods of fluoride incorporation into fissure sealants. In the first method, fluoride is added to the unpolymerized resin in the form of a soluble fluoride salt that releases fluoride ions by dissolution, following sealant application. In the second method, an organic fluoride compound is chemically bound to the resin and the fluoride is

Testing of pit and fissure sealants in the monkey

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1977
A pilot study was conducted employing the Macaca speciosa monkey to determine the retention and sealing ability of pit and fissure sealants in vivo. Several problems were encountered in the use of this animal model for this type of evaluation. Without doubt, the conditions to which the sealants were subjected in the monkey were more rigorous than those

Pit and Fissure Sealants

2018
Among schoolchildren, pit and fissure caries have been accounted for approximately 80–90% of all caries in permanent posterior teeth. The occlusal surfaces of permanent molars are highly susceptible to caries development, especially during eruption in the oral cavity.

A Study of the Penetration of Sealants into Pits and Fissures

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1973
An investigation was conducted into the penetration of different resin sealants into the pits and fissures of extracted molariform teeth of humans. The results showed that prophylaxis before conditioning and sealant placement only cleaned the cuspal inclined planes and that pits and fissures often remained filled with debris.
