most important times for
sealing the eligible deciduous • Premolar teeth that are non-carious
teeth with deep pits, fissure and steep cuspal
inclines
2. 6-7 AGE PERIOD FOR SEALANT
PLACEMENT 8. • Occlusal surfaces that are already Contraindications
carious of sealants
1st permanent molars
• Teeth with interproximal lesions
3. 11-13 AGE PERIOD FOR SEALANT
PLACEMENT
• Well-coalesced pits and fissures
2nd permanent molars and 9. • Non-invasive Advantages of
premolars sealant
• Prevents tooth decay
4. Glass Ionomers (Acid-base Types of Sealants
reaction)
• Fluoride release
Composite Resin 10. • Economic feasibility Disadvantages of
(Polymerization) sealant
• Inadvertent placement over carious
5. High acid-base bonding Characteristics of Glass
sites
Ionomer as Sealant
Less shrinkage on setting
• Detection of lost sealant
High fluoride release 11. Young permanent teeth requiring only Indications for
minimal tooth preparation for isolated preventive resin
Low thermal expansion caries removal but also having adjacent restoration
susceptible but non-carious fissures
Low tensile strength
12. Teeth with interproximal caries Contraindication
of PRR
High susceptibility to
• Extensive caries
dessication
13. • Minimal cavity preparation is required Advantages of
6. No acid-base bonding Characteristics of composite
PRR
resin as sealant
• Seals caries, halting the destruction of
More shrinkage on setting
tooth

Less fluoride release

• Less invasive

Less expansion 14. • Secondary caries may form Disadvantages of

PRR
Higher tensile strength • Highly technique sensitive
15. Type A, B, C What are the
Low susceptibility to types of PRR
dessication
16. Type A TYPES OF PRR

suspicious pits
and fissures where
caries removal is
limited to enamel
only
17. Type B TYPES OF PRR

incipient lesion in dentin that is

small and confined
18. Type C TYPES OF PRR

characterized by the need of

greater exploratory preparation in dentin
19. The preparation size is very small Characteristics of Type A PRR

A slow speed round bur is used to

remove any decalcified enamel

Unfilled resin or sealant is used to

restore the preparation of carious lesion
20. The preparation is made with number 2round bur Characteristics of Type B PRR

• The restoration requires some filler to the unfilled resin

21. There is need of greater exploratory preparation Characteristics of Type C PRR
into dentin

• Larger-sized bur is needed

• A bevel is placed on the enamel cavosurface

margin of the preparation

• Base is introduced into the preparation before

bonded filled composite, to be followed by unfilled
resin
