Sealants

Removing sound tooth (enameloplasty) and replacing it with Resin or Sealant material is called

PRR- Preventive Resin Restoration.

Sealants that are most likely to require occlusal adjustment

Filled sealants

Type of sealant that can be placed in wet environment with no etching necessary and are able to release high fluoride

Glass ionomer

Major reason for Sealant fail is

Saliva contamination

what is the percentage of phosphoric acid in the Etch?

37-50 %

Reduction of pits and fissure caries by obliterating the pits and fissures with a high speed drill and filling them with amalgam is called

Prophylactic odontonomy

Light cured resins are mainly used in--------- and Chemical cured resins are used in------

Laboratory settings
School settings

All these factors influence sealant retention EXCEPT?
-Cleanliness of tooth surface
-Creation of etched micropores on enamel
-Use of hydrophilic primers to dry tooth
-Use of curing light

-USE OF CURING LIGHT

During sealant application which technique should be used to increase penetration of the sealants into enamel micropores
-Dapping
-Wetting
-Curing
-Sweeping

Wetting

Sealants are not permanent, therefore they might need to be inspected and replaced
