Richa Khanna, Ramesh K Pandey and Neerja Singh

Pit and fissures in permanent human teeth have been an area of constant research for long, as the advancements in preventive regimens in dentistry paves in ways to prevent dental caries. The complexity of these areas inmorphological terms has been studied and explained. The present study is a review of their morphology examined under Scanning Electron Microscope. The study also examines the penetration of sealants in fissures of different morphology.
