Indications for Sealantsto Prevent Occlusal Caries
![Page 14: Clinical Aspects of Dental Sealants: Materials and Application National Primary Oral Health Care Conference Kevin J. Donly, DDS, MS Professor and Chair](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e2f5503460f94b1fee3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Workshop on Guidelines for Sealant Use
o Caries risk assessment of the individual and the tooth are important as determinants of sealant need.
o Caries risk on surfaces with pits and fissures may continue into adulthood; therefore, post-eruptive age alone should no-longer be used as a major criterion for sealant decisions.
o Sealants should be used to prevent caries in at-risk teeth (preventive sealants).
o Sealants should be used to treat teeth with questionable caries or definite caries confined to the enamel pits and fissures (therapeutic sealants).
o Sealed teeth need to be evaluated periodically for sealant integrity and retention.
(Siegal, J Publ Health Dent, 1995)
![Page 15: Clinical Aspects of Dental Sealants: Materials and Application National Primary Oral Health Care Conference Kevin J. Donly, DDS, MS Professor and Chair](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e2f5503460f94b1fee3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
AAPD Recommendations
The dental literature supports:1. Bonded resin sealants, placed by appropriately trained
dental personnel, are safe, effective and underused in preventing pit and fissure caries on at risk surfaces. Effectiveness is increased with good technique, appropriate follow-up, and resealing as necessary.
2. Sealant benefit is increased by placement on surfaces judged to be at high risk or surfaces that already exhibit incipient carious lesions. Placing sealant over minimal enamel caries has been shown to be effective at inhibiting lesion progression. Appropriate follow-up care, as with all dental treatment, is recommended.
![Page 16: Clinical Aspects of Dental Sealants: Materials and Application National Primary Oral Health Care Conference Kevin J. Donly, DDS, MS Professor and Chair](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e2f5503460f94b1fee3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
3. Presently, the best evaluation of risk is done by an experienced clinician using indicators of tooth morphology, clinical diagnostics, past caries history, past fluoride history and present oral hygiene.
4. Caries risk and, therefore, potential sealant benefit, may exist in any tooth with a pit or fissure at any age, including primary teeth of children and permanent teeth of children and adults.

5. Sealant placement methods should include careful cleaning of the pits and fissures without removal of any appreciable enamel. Some circumstances may indicate use of a minimal enameloplasty technique.
6. A low-viscosity, hydrophilic material bonding layer as part of or under the actual sealant has been shown to enhance the long-term retention and effectiveness.

7. Glass ionomer materials can be used as transitional sealants, and may prove to be effective as longer-term pit and fissure sealants.
8. The profession must be alert to new preventive methods effective against pit and fissure caries. These may include changes in dental materials or technology.
