History and Selection of Pit and Fissure Sealents – A Review.QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Two strategies for fluoroprophylaxis have been proposed: the first is the systemic fluoroprophylaxis which is especially effective in averting interproximal caries, however it doesn't frame a satisfactory defensive obstruction on the occlusal surfaces; the other is the topical use of a fluoride gel to the tooth surface, in spite of the fact that this second strategy does not fundamentally diminish the frequency of caries. The viability of the fixing methods relies on upon the right application procedure. Watching an agent convention will guarantee a more extended enduring maintenance of the sealant on the occlusal surface and in this manner drags out the security against caries. This review gives the in and out details about pit and fissure sealents.
We live in an era of technologic advancements. Dentistry is no behind in this era. Here is a brief sum up of teledentistry and its applications in the field.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. I N T R O D U C T I O N
Although only 12.5% of all tooth surfaces are
occlusal,
these surfaces develop more than two-thirds
of the total caries experience of children.
Caries potential is directly related to the
shape and depth of the pits and fissures.
Narrow isolated crevices and grooves are the
most important anatomical features leading to
development of occlusal caries.

1895 - Wilson - zinc phosphate
1905 - silver nitrate by Miller
1923- HYATT : “PROPHYLACTIC ODONTOTOMY” (Ag and Cu Oxyphosphate cements)
1929 - Bodecker - Enameloplasty (enamel fissure eradication)

1942 - Kline and Knutson- ammonical silver nitrate
1951 – Miller J – copper amalgam
1955- Buonocore – Acid Etching (concentrated phosphoric acid solution)
Cyanoacrylates were the first materials to be used as sealants, but never marketed.

5. Pits and fissures are enamel faults,
narrow shafts or cracks at some
length whose blind ends are
directed more or less towards the
DEJ.
6. PIT :
defined as a small pin point depression located
at the junction of developmental grooves and at
terminals of those grooves.
FISSURE :
defined as deep clefts between adjoining
cusps.
7. “to describe a material that is introduced into
the occlusal pit and fissure of caries susceptible
teeth, thus forming a micro-mechanically
bonded, protective layer cutting access of
caries producing bacteria from their source of
nutrients”
•(Simonsen)
8. “Fissure sealants are materials designed to
prevent pit and fissure caries when they are
applied to the occlusal surfaces of teeth in
order to obliterate occlusal fissures and remove
the sheltered environment in which caries may
thrive.”
•(Gordon-1962)
10. INDICATIONS :
Ekstrand and Christiansen, 2005
active fissure caries has been
diagnosed.
a high risk had been established.
fissures are deep and the patient or
parent either cannot, or will not remove
plaque effectively.
11. INDICATIONS :
• presence of deep occlusal pits and fissure on newly
erupted teeth.
• presence of lingual pits or palatal pits in relation to
upper lateral incisors and molars.
• presence of incipient lesion in pit and fissure.
• children and young people with medical, physical, or
intellectual impairment with high caries risk.
• children and young adults with signs of high caries
activity coming from non-fluoridated areas.
12. CONTRA-INDICATIONS :
• shallow pits and fissures.
• open occlusal carious lesions with extension into
dentin.
• presence of large occlusal restoration.
• presence of proximal caries extending on to occlusal
surface.
• partially erupted tooth where isolation is problem.
• un-cooperative children.
13. PURPOSE :
• To provide physical barrier to seal off the pit or
fissure.
• To prevent the bacteria and their nutrients from
collecting within the pits or fissures to create the
acid environment necessary for initiation of
dental caries.
14. RATIONALE :
Very high proportion of dental decay occurs in pits and
fissures.
Recent data shows that relative proportion of pit and fissure
lesions has increased to 84% of total new caries experience.
Pits and fissures remain at risk of caries for long periods of
time, not just within the first few years of eruption.
Fluoride has limited effect in preventing pit and fissure
caries.
Fissure sealants are effective at preventing pit and fissure
caries and are best used as a part of overall preventive
program.
(British society of pediatric dentistry 2000)
15. 1. A viscosity allowing penetration into deep and narrow
fissures.
2. Adequate working time.

20. CYANOACRYLATES
Discovered in late 1950’s.
Surgical adhesives and tooth sealants.
moisture - polymerize rapidly : hard and
brittle.
Mechanical durability : unsatisfactory
Initially methyl cyanoacrylate used. : toxic
potential.
Replaced by Butyl and Isobutyl ester.
21. POLY URETHANES
Eg: EPOXYLITES
Contain 10% sodium mono
fluorophosphate with liquid polyurethane
and utilize citric acid as etchant.
Not regularly used due to poor
mechanical properties and oral durability
and toxicity.
22. DIMETHACRYLATES
Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) : highly
volatile and lacks penetration.
Enamite, a new sealant utilizes MMA-
PMMA system initiated by butyl boron.
Binds better and is less affected by
immersion in water.
BISGMA : viscous amber liquid of low
volatility diluted with MMA. (3:1)
23. GLASS IONOMER
Mc Lean and Wilson
Hydrophilic
Good adhesion

premolar.
Simonsen 1983.
Group 1 – Caries free patients judged at no risk to
decay.
Group 2 – Patients judged to be at moderate risk
to decay.
Group 3 – Patients with rampant caries at a high
risk to decay.

28. PREPARE THE TEETH
Plaque and debris interfere with
etching
-Clean the surfaces
- Dry tooth brush/prophy cup with
pumice/air abrasion.
- Explorer to remove debris.
- Rinse for 20-30seconds.
29. ISOLATE THE TOOTH
Most critical aspect.
Saliva contamination during or after
acid etching can have deleterious
effects on bond.
Best : Rubber dam.
Cotton rolls, dry angles
Vac-ejector moisture control system.
DRY THE SURFACE
Dry the teeth with air for 20-30 seconds.
Ensure no moisture.
30. ETCH THE SURFACES
37% Ortho-Phosphoric acid
Liquid/gel form.
30-60seconds
On all susceptible pits and fissures
Extend up the cuspal lines, well
beyond (at least 2mm) the
anticipated margin of sealant.
31. RINSE AND DRY THE
TEETH
Rinse surfaces for 60 seconds.
Surface should appear “Chalky-
White”
Dry teeth with air for 20-30
seconds.
32. APPLICATION OF SEALANT
MATERIAL
1. Self-Curing
Mix equal parts of the 2
components

35. PREVENTIVE RESIN RESTORATIONS
• a natural extension of the use of occlusal sealants.
• integrates the preventive approach of sealant
therapy for caries susceptible pit and fissure with
therapeutic restoration of incipient caries with
composite resin.
• “extension for prevention”
37. PREVENTIVE RESIN RESTORATIONS
SIMONSEN (1978)
TYPE A
