The ability of laser fluorescence to assist in the early detection of occlusal and smooth surface caries has been well documented. But are tools such as the Diagnodent effective in determining the ...

Two of the studies evaluated whether the addition of HealOzone treatment improved sealant retention: 1 in the treatment of pit and fissure caries, and another in the treatment of root caries. 4.1.3 ...

Prevention This paper reviews evidence concerning the use of pit and fissure sealants in preventing caries in the permanent dentition of children. While the evidence with respect to some sealant ...

LF readings were statistically significantly affected by both clear and opaque sealants (p < 0.001). However, this effect was statistically significantly less pronounced for the clear material (p < ...

Results For detecting any demineralization versus sound pit and fissure enamel, the mean Sen/Sp found was 46.9/85.0 for MID, 80.5/52.5 for CAM, and 83.4/45.0 for CP-OCT.

After undergoing this dental procedure a person can be caries-free for at least 10 years. As fissure sealants are clear and white, they readily merge with the tooth surface, ...

The State Government has decided to launch a pilot project on pit and fissure sealant application under National Oral Health Programme to prevent dental caries which mostly affects children of 6-14 ye ...

The additional cost of HealOzone treatment per filling avoided was £9.58 in non-cavitated pit and fissure caries, £11.63 in cavitated pit and fissure caries and £5.18 in root caries. 4.3 Consideration ...

Figure 1. Each tooth had two composite reference points (r1 and r2). The test area was the fissure area between the points. A) All CAM images were assessed Score '2'.All MID Scorings were '0'.
