This procedure is a dental treatment used to prevent cavity formation, and it is commonly applied, especially in children. A special resin material is applied to the crack and grooved areas of teeth prone to cavities to fill their depths. This application smoothens the tooth surface, prevents bacterial buildup, thus reducing the risk of cavities, and maintains dental health.

The fissure sealant application is typically carried out as follows:

Cleaning: Firstly, the dentist cleans the chewing surface of the tooth and identifies areas prone to cavities.
Acid Application: An appropriate acid solution is applied to the chewing surface. This acid dissolves the enamel on the tooth surface and ensures better adhesion of the fissure sealant.
Rinsing and Drying: After the acid application, the tooth surface is rinsed and dried.
Fissure Sealant Application: The dentist applies the fissure sealant resin to the grooves and protrusions. The resin is placed on the tooth surface in liquid form and then hardened with a special light.
Final Check: After the fissure sealant application is complete, the dentist performs final checks to ensure proper sealing of the tooth.
Fissure sealant applications are an effective method to protect teeth against cavities and maintain dental health. This treatment can be recommended by dentists during regular dental examinations and cleanings. The procedure typically takes only a few minutes and is generally painless. It is an important preventive treatment, especially for reducing the risk of tooth decay in children.
