Prevention of Cavity -Pit & Fissure Sealants
Pit and fissure provides a protected niche for plaque (food debris + bacteria) accumulation.
Pit and fissure sealant is a material that is introduced into pits and fissures of caries (cavity) susceptible teeth, thus forming protective layer to prevent cavity.
Usually applied on erupting deciduous or permanent molars
