Dental Fissures
Texas dental journal (127)3 2010
Abstract
There have been both large and small changes in operative dentistry in the last 30 years. Extension for prevention is no longer the mantra. The design features of amalgam preparations have moved into the smallest preparations possible to gain full access to the carious dentin. The default Class 2 am...

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical behavior of two conventional glass ionomers used for pit and fissure sealing in terms of retention, marginal adaptation, caries recurrence and cracking. Eighty-three fully erupted first permanent molars were sealed, in a group of children aged 5 to...

Abstract
The caries patterns identified from the clustering analysis are: (1) smooth surfaces (other than the maxillary incisor), (2) maxillary incisor, (3) occlusal surfaces of first molars, and (4) pit and fissure surfaces of second molars. CONCLUSION: The cluster analysis findings were consistent with res...

Abstract
A significant reduction in the levels of MS in the fissures after the initial treatment was displayed with both varnishes (p < 0.05), and the levels remained consistently suppressed throughout the follow-up period. A non-significant but clear tendency was noted in favor of the new formula after six...

Operative Dentistry (34)6 2009
Abstract
For the 12-month recalls, complete retention rates of 89.3% for the SoloBond M group and 20.5% for the FuturaBond NR group were observed. Sixteen of the 244 restorations were unavailable after 12 months. At 24 months, a total loss of 9 sealants in the SoloBond M group and 84 in the FuturaBond NR gro...

Abstract
Sound sites (n=13) had significantly minor fluorescence values than carious sites (n=107) (P<0.0001) as had sites with no/enamel caries (n=63) compared to dentinal caries (n=57). The AUCs for the same discriminations were 0.92 and 0.78 (P<0.001). For the D(0)-D(1-4) threshold, a cut-off at a value o...

Abstract
The percentages of occlusal surfaces of first permanent molars which were at risk (caries free) at time points 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 months which became carious during the subsequent six months were 2.4, 8.00, 7.4, 5.4 and 6.1 respectively. Caries incidence was highest in the first year after sealing...

Abstract
The study findings suggest that during school-based fissure sealant programmes involving black South African children, first molars should be targeted at age seven (Grade 1), or as soon as possible thereafter. However, caries protection may still be achieved until thirteen years of age (Grade 7). Fu...

V- and U-shaped fissures were found to have the maximum penetration. Penetration was very poor for I- and IK-types of fissures. No significant difference in penetration was found in relation to eruption time. Adaptation of sealant was not affected by any of the factors. CONCLUSION: Even the well-app...

Abstract
Pit and fissure opening was found to significantly correlate with all methods (rhoLF = 0.48, rhoBWX = 0.48, rhoDV = 0.44, rhoIDV = 0.41). For enamel lesions, higher sensitivity (0.76) was found with DV, while higher specificity (0.88) with the LF. For lesions into dentin, however, higher sensitivity...

The mean LF values increased significantly (p<0.05) with increasing age from 8.2 to 12.4 in the teeth that remained sound. Thirty-five teeth were decayed or filled during the follow-up and their mean LF values increased from 13.4 to 40.7. The LF readings were significantly higher in molars with "dee...

Abstract
The decision to restore a smooth surface carious lesion should be based on whether the lesion has cavitated. All non-cavitated lesions should receive preventive therapy aimed at arresting and remineralizing the lesion. Dental caries is a disease based on an imbalance in the equilibrium of ion exchan...
