T177 0-49 Sentence denotes Fissure sealing over non-cavitated carious lesion
T178 51-80 Sentence denotes What it is and when to use it
T179 81-405 Sentence denotes Sealant materials can control non-cavitated lesions on occlusal surfaces where there is no significant breach in the surface integrity of the tooth, even if the lesion can be seen clinically (through shadowing), or radiographically, to extend into dentine.55,56,57,58,59,60 These are also known as micro-invasive treatments.
T180 407-446 Sentence denotes How it works and clinical effectiveness
T181 447-631 Sentence denotes As well as being highly effective for prevention of dental caries,30 placing a well-sealed fissure sealant over a carious lesion will arrest it and stop it from progressing.57,58,59,60
T182 632-809 Sentence denotes While shallow or moderately deep lesions are likely to be successfully managed, there is not enough evidence to make recommendations for deeper lesions for long-term management.
T183 810-901 Sentence denotes Although they may provide a good seal, they will not add much to the strength of the tooth.
T184 902-1068 Sentence denotes Their application is limited to teeth where there is less weakening of the tooth structure (that is, less extensive lesions) and the tooth structure can support them.
T185 1069-1205 Sentence denotes In cases where the lesion is extensive, the sealant may not be able to withstand breakdown of the lesion surface if the forces are high.
T186 1206-1352 Sentence denotes Although they have a lower retention rate than resin sealants, the therapeutic effect of GIC on the tooth seems to balance the bulk material loss.
T187 1353-1592 Sentence denotes There is good evidence to support a high caries-preventive effect from high-viscosity glass-ionomer sealants.30 However, there is little directly comparable evidence, as yet, on their relative performances sealing dentinal carious lesions.
T188 1594-1605 Sentence denotes Non-AGP use
T189 1606-1699 Sentence denotes Resin fissure sealant application involves use of the air-water syringe, creating an aerosol.
T190 1700-1871 Sentence denotes Clinicians could consider using GIC or HVGIC ART sealants instead, as these do not require rinsing or desiccation for placement, to prevent further progression of lesions.
T191 1872-2054 Sentence denotes More long-term treatment may be required later, but there may be sufficient success from the sealant to allow it to be managed by re-sealing rather than replacing with a restoration.
