“…According to Babu et al, sealant application should be done at the age of 3 to 4 years as they are the most important period for sealing the susceptible deciduous teeth, followed by 6 to 7 years age group for the first permanent molars and 11 to 13 years age groups for protecting the second permanent molars and premolars from pits and fissure caries. Previous studies revealed that nearly half of the children in their study on dental caries involved children from 11 to 15 years of age (51.5%) which was associated with sociodemographic factors and lack of awareness on oral hygiene (Babu et al, 2014;Gurunathan and Shanmugaavel, 2016;Zeru, 2019;raj et al, 2020). It is concluded that there is a statistically significant association between pits and fissures caries and gender (p<0.05).…”

“…It was once generally accepted that pits and fissure of the teeth would become infected with bacteria within 10 years of erupting into the oral cavity. A previous study stated that only the first permanent molars are evaluated in their study involving children within 6 to 9 years of age as they are a key to the permanent dentition with high susceptibility to pits and fissures caries due to their morphology and have almost erupted in this age of children (Sayed and Salah, 2011;Babu et al, 2014;Aldossary et al, 2018;raj et al, 2020).…”

Dental caries is considered to be a significant public health problem worldwide with cases being reported in both developed and developing countries. It has been reported that the occlusal surfaces with prominent pits and fissures morphology increases the risk of caries development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of pits and fissure caries in 7-14 years children. It was a retrospective study conducted by reviewing 5,000 patient case records. A total of 1000 case records of patients for a period of December 2019 to April 2020 with complete records were reviewed and analysed. Patient's age, gender and presence of pits and fissure caries, caries in upper or lower arch were collected from the patient's case records. The obtained data was analysed using the SPSS version 23.0. Descriptive analysis was done for the assessment of age, gender and dental arches involved. Chi square test was used to evaluate the association of pits and fissure caries with age and gender. The overall prevalence of pits and fissures caries was about 61.7%. Prevalence among 7-9 years old children was 25.1%. Higher predilection for pits and fissures caries was seen in males (34.5%) when compared to females (26.0%). Most of the cases showed the presence of pits and fissures in both arches (63.7%). Within the limits of the present study, pits and fissures caries exhibit higher prevalence in 7-9 years old children, male predilection and more common in both arches in an individual. There is a paramount need to educate the parents and caregivers about the importance of preventive measure in preventing caries and progression of decay in children.

“…Karıştırma işlemi esnasında hava kabarcığı oluşmamasına dikkat edilmelidir, çünkü bunlar fissür örtücü dişe yerleştirildikten sonra örtücü yüzeyinde materyalin başarısını olumsuz etkileyecek pürüzlere ve boşluklara yol açabilir. 25 Üçüncü jenerasyon fissür örtücü materyalleri içerisine 400-500 nanometre dalga boyunda görünür ışıkla aktive olarak polimerizasyon reaksiyonunu başlatan kamforokinon gibi diketon başlatıcılar ve reaksiyonu hızlandıran alifatik aminler ilave edilmiştir. 26 Üçüncü jenerasyon fissür örtücüler ikinci jenerasyon fissür örtücülere göre bazı avantajlara sahip oldukları için sıklıkla tercih edilmektedirler.…”

ÖZ Günümüzde, diş çürüğü, oral sağlığı etkileyen önemli bir problem olma durumunu hala korumaktadır. Pit ve fissür çürükleri oldukça erken yaşlarda görülen bir hastalıktır ve bukkal ve lingual yüzeylerdeki çürükler dikkate alındığında pit ve fissürlerde oluşan çürükler, çocuk ve ergenlerdeki tüm çürük deneyiminin %80'inden fazlasını oluşturmaktadır. Pit ve fissürleri korumak için daha etkili önlemler alınması gerekir; bunlar arasında pit ve fissür örtücü maddesi kullanımı bulunur. Fissür örtücüler, diş çürüklerini önlemek amacıyla dişlerdeki pit ve fissürlere uygulanan materyallerdir. Örtücü uygulaması, örtücü maddelerinin çürüklere yatkın dişlerin pit ve fissürleri içerisine girmesini sağlayan koruyucu bir yaklaşımdır; bu örtücü maddesi daha sonra dişe mikromekanik olarak yapışarak bakterileri besin kaynaklarından uzak tutan fiziksel bir bariyer görevi görür Farklı örtücü malzemelerin arasında en iyi sseçimin belirlenmesi karmaşık olabilir. Diş hekimleri seçebileceği ürünleri, çürük önleyici etki, florür salınımı ve retansiyon oranı gibi farklı özelliklere bakarak karar vermektedir. Bu derlemede, literatür gözden geçirilerek, pit ve fissür örtücülere genel bir bakış, örtücü olarak kullanılan materyallerdeki gelişmeler, ayrıca endikasyonlar, uygulama yöntemleri ve olası yan etkileri hakkında bilgi vermek amaçlanmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: pit ve fissür örtücü, çürükten korunma, daimi ve süt dişi ABSTRACT Today, tooth decay remains a major problem affecting oral health. Pit and fissure caries is a disease that occurs at a very early age, and when the caries on the buccal and lingual surfaces are taken into account, caries formed in pits and fissures constitute more than 80% of all caries experience in children and adolescents. More effective measures must be taken to protect the pit and fissures; these include the use of pit and fissure sealant. Fissure sealants are materials that are applied to pit and fissures in the teeth to prevent tooth decay. The application of the sealant is a protective approach that allows the sealants to penetrate into the pits and fissures of the teeth prone to decay; this sealant agent then adheres to the tooth micromechanically and acts as a physical barrier that keeps bacteria away from food sources. Determining the best choice among different sealant materials can be complex. Dentists decide the products they can choose by looking at different characteristics such as caries preventive effect, fluoride release and retantion rate. In this review, it is aimed to give a general overview of pit and fissure sealants, developments in materials used as coverings, indications, application methods and possible side effects.

“…In recent decades, many attempts have been made to prevent the development of caries, in particular, occlusal caries, since it was once generally recognized that the pits and fissure in the teeth would be infected with bacteria within ten years of the eruption in the mouth. (Babu et al, 2014;Cohen and Sheiham, 1988;Subramaniam et al, 2008).…”

This research presents an experimental and theoretical investigation of compressive strength and stress distribution of three different types of pit and fissure sealants (PFS). The PFS had been divided into three major categories, i.e. resin-modified glass-ionomer (RMGI), resin-based PFS, and compomer Sealant, for each given type, commercial brands photac fil quick aplicap (3M ESPE), ultraseal XT hydro (Ultradent), and compoglass F (Ivoclar Vivadent) have been selected, respectively. Thirty samples, which were divided into three groups (ten specimens for each PFS type) were loaded in compression until failure. The SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Science) version 23 program was used to perform the statistical analysis and assess the difference between the compressive strength of each study group. The results of the experiment showed that the compressive strength of the resin-based PFS overcomes the RMGI and compomer sealant by 116% and 30% respectively. By using ABAQUS program performed the 3D finite element model (consisting 13050 elements and 14508 nodes) to evaluate the effect of chemical composition on the compressive strength of the PFS and compared stresses with the experimental results. The results of the analysis of these two methods showed that the vertical stress values differ even by 100% at stress concentration zones. This research showed that the filler fraction and particle size and uniformity of the filler distribution are the main determining factor affecting the compressive strength of PFS.
