Abstract:

Different pretreatment methods have been investigated with the intention of enhancing the effectiveness of etching enamel surface and improving sealant retention,and the tight micromenhanical adhesion to enamel surface essential for their success. However, to the date there has not been a gold standard for cleaning pits and fissures prior to the application of etchant and sealant. A report from American Dental Association Council on Scientific Affairs stated: There is limited evidence in favor of using air abrasion as a cleaning method before acid etchnig to improve sealant retention. Objectives: Audience will have a better understanding on current sealant recommendation,they will gain knowledge of different fissure pretreatment methods and be able to place sealants using different fissure pretreatment methods.
