Dental Sealant Failure, Caused by Improper Placement Technique
Shannon Pace Brinker, CDA
October 2021 Course - Expires Thursday, October 31st, 2024
Web Only
Abstract
The ability of a pit and fissure sealant to prevent dental caries is highly dependent on its ability to remain on the tooth surface. The use of acid-etch or adhesive systems before applying dental sealants can increase retention but, if not placed correctly, can lead to sealant failure. Most of the time, when decay is identified, it is too late. As a result, preventive treatment has turned into restorative treatment.
