Recent advances including acid-releasing and wet-bonding sealants are also summarized.
This document discusses pits and fissure sealants. It explains that pits and fissures are difficult to clean and can accumulate plaque and debris, leading to caries development. Sealants were developed in the 1960s using acid etching to seal pits and fissures with resin. Children with special needs or extensive caries are indicated for sealants. Molars with localized occlusal caries confined to the outer third of dentin can be sealed, while deeper caries requires restoration first. Resin and glass ionomer based sealants are described, with resin being preferred. The application process involves cleaning, etching, washing, applying sealant and curing.
This document discusses preventive resin restorations (PRR), which involve sealing carious lesions and susceptible areas with resin to prevent further decay. PRRs are classified into three types based on the extent and depth of the lesion. Type A involves sealing shallow enamel lesions with resin or sealant. Type B uses resin filler for minimal lesions extending into dentin. Type C places a bevel and layers of resin composite to restore larger lesions extending into dentin. PRR provides advantages over traditional fillings by requiring minimal tooth preparation and sealing decay, while future replacements are less invasive than replacing fillings. Maintaining isolation from moisture is important for success.

Heartgard Plus and Sentinel are two popular heartworm preventatives for dogs. Both are flavored chewables given once a month that kill parasites like heartworms, roundworms and hookworms. However, Sentinel is also effective against fleas, flea eggs, and whipworms. While Sentinel can be used for dogs as young as 8 weeks, Heartgard Plus is recommended for dogs 6 weeks and older. Sentinel tends to be more expensive but provides additional protection against fleas and whipworms. For collie breeds, Heartgard Plus may cause fewer adverse reactions due to differences in active ingredients between the two medications.
