Fissure sealing

Why is it important?

  • when erupting, young permanent teeth are exposed to cariogenic bacteria from food 
  • young permanent teeth have pronounced lumps - this is conducive to the setting of bacteria
  • children at that age are not yet so aware of maintaining oral hygiene

When to do it?

  • the procedure is performed at the age of 6-7, during the appearance of the first permanent molar (six)
  • properly placed seals can protect the tooth and reduce the risk of caries by 80%
  • sealing also maintains aesthetics because the color matches the color of the teeth

What is the course of the procedure?

  • the procedure is completely painless and takes only a few minutes
  • first, the tooth is cleaned of soft deposits with a rotating brush and professional paste
  • then the tooth is isolated and dried in order to have a dry working field
  • this is followed by the application of etching acid with which we prepare the tooth and it dries
  • finally, the sealing material (composite thin resin) is applied and illuminated with a polymerization lamp to harden
