A fissure sealant is a protective dental material applied to the grooves on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, especially in children and teenagers. This treatment makes the teeth more resistant to decay and prevents bacteria from damaging the enamel in these deep, narrow grooves.
Children from the age of 6 with newly erupted molars
Individuals at high risk of cavities
Children and adults who struggle with proper oral hygiene
Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment
Cleaning the Teeth: The chewing surface is thoroughly cleaned with a special brush.
Drying the Tooth: The tooth surface is dried to ensure better adhesion of the sealant.
Applying a Special Gel: A bonding gel is applied to the tooth surface and left for a short time.
Applying the Sealant: The liquid fissure sealant is placed into the grooves of the chewing surface.
Curing with Special Light: A blue light is used to harden the material, ensuring it adheres properly.
Final Check: The tooth’s natural bite is checked, and any rough spots are smoothed.
Prevents Tooth Decay: Protects the most vulnerable areas of teeth, significantly reducing the risk of cavities.
Painless and Quick: No anesthesia is needed, and the natural tooth structure is preserved.
Long-Lasting Protection: With proper care, it can last for several years.
Early Protection: Helps children grow with healthy, cavity-free teeth.
Fissure sealants should be checked regularly and replaced if necessary. On average, they provide effective protection for 3-5 years.
