Who needs pit and fissure sealing? When is it suitable for pit and fissure sealing?
1, generally speaking, deep pit and fissure, especially those that can jam the probe (including suspected caries);
2. Other teeth of the patient, especially those with the same name on the opposite side who suffer from caries or have a tendency to suffer from caries, should be sealed with pit and fissure;
3. It is suitable for pit and fissure sealing when children's teeth reach the occlusal plane after eruption, usually within 4 years after eruption.
4. The best time for sealing is: deciduous molars are 3-4 years old, first permanent molars are 6-7 years old, second permanent molars are11-3 years old, and bicuspids are 9-13 years old. For disabled children with poor oral hygiene, although they are older or their teeth have erupted for a long time, we can consider relaxing the age of pit and fissure sealing.
The method of pit and fissure sealing is very simple, which can be completed by cleaning teeth, acid etching, washing and drying, coating sealing agent and curing. After curing, the material closely adheres to the ditch wall, and has certain chewing resistance, which is not harmful to eating. Moreover, after curing, the material is non-toxic and harmless to human body. However, it should be emphasized that pit and fissure sealing needs professional personnel to operate and necessary instruments and equipment. The sign of successful pit and fissure sealing is that the sealing agent can exist completely, and it is suspicious of wear but can't fall off, so it needs to be checked regularly, and it needs to be sealed again if the material falls off.
1, indication; The pit and fissure is particularly deep, especially for the probe, and other teeth, especially the opposite teeth with the same name, suffer from dental caries or have a tendency.
2. Non-indications; The occlusal surface has no deep pit and fissure, and the self-cleaning effect is good. Those who suffer from more near-surface caries have not suffered from caries for more than 4 years, and the teeth have not erupted normally and are covered by gums. The patient is uncooperative and has finished filling the teeth.
Matters needing attention after pit and fissure sealing
1, the closed teeth were found to have high occlusion or pain when eating within a few days after operation, so please return to the clinic in time.
2. After operation, it is found that the sealing material has fallen off or partially fallen off. Please come back for a follow-up visit.
3. Check every 6 months or 12 months after operation, so as to find problems and deal with them in time.
Question 2: What is pit and fissure sealing? Pit and fissure sealant is an effective method to prevent children's dental caries. When children's teeth have pit and fissure caries, it can be applied on them, thus effectively protecting the teeth from further caries. Moreover, when pit and fissure sealant falls, its materials will penetrate into the teeth, which can also effectively protect the teeth. Pit and fissure sealant refers to the method of preventing pit and fissure caries by applying liquid resin on the surface of teeth with dental caries, and curing and hardening after entering the pit and fissure, which effectively prevents the teeth from being further eroded. Many people don't understand pit and fissure sealant very well. In this regard, the best age for pit and fissure sealant and the best age for pit and fissure sealant are introduced as follows. The principle of pit and fissure sealing is to synthesize a material that is harmless to many people, coat it in the cross-shaped pit and fissure of the tooth, and when it is liquid, it can penetrate into the pit and fissure of the tooth surface and cure after illumination. Just like putting a protective coat on teeth, it can protect teeth from food erosion and effectively prevent tooth caries. The best age for pit and fissure sealing is 6-8 years old, which is the best age for children to do pit and fissure sealing. The occlusal surface of the newly erupted tooth and the opposite jaw tooth is not completely consistent. The pit and fissure sealing will not bring discomfort, and at this time, the child's permanent teeth have just erupted, and dental caries need to be sealed in time to protect them. In the process of pit and fissure sealing, the tooth surface should be thoroughly cleaned to remove the food residue and bacteria, and the method is to brush it with a soft toothbrush. Then, the teeth are etched by acid, so that the surface of the pit and fissure presents tiny pores, which is beneficial for the pit and fissure sealant to penetrate into it, so as to achieve the sealing effect, and finally, the teeth are completely dried to remove the water retained in the pit and fissure, so as not to affect the curing of the resin and the bonding strength with the tooth surface. Apply pit and fissure sealant, and then cure it with medical equipment to protect the teeth. Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of when children should do pit and fissure sealing. Pit and fissure sealing is the best and most effective method to prevent dental caries at present. Pit and fissure sealing will not only have any impact on children, but also protect teeth. Moreover, pit and fissure sealing does not need to remove any tissues of teeth, and can effectively isolate the erosion of teeth by bacteria.
Question 3: What is pit and fissure sealing? It is a dental means to prevent tooth decay. There are many gullies on the front of teeth for chewing, but if these gullies are too deep, they are not convenient for daily cleaning, and it is easy to form tooth decay over the years. And pit and fissure sealing is to fill these gullies properly to prevent tooth decay.
Question 4: What is pit and fissure sealing? What are the benefits? Pay attention to the observation and you will find that there are many fine grooves on the occlusal surface of the posterior teeth, which are both pits and grooves. If the pit and fissure is deep, it is easy to suffer from dental caries, especially for children with poor oral hygiene. In order to reduce the occurrence of pit and fissure caries, doctors use dental materials (usually photosensitive materials) to seal the pit and fissure of teeth, which is called pit and fissure sealing. Pit and fissure sealing can reduce the incidence of dental caries when children have not developed good oral hygiene habits, but it cannot replace brushing teeth.
Question 5: Today, I took my child to have the pit and fissure closed. The key is free, but the doctor didn't tell me what to pay attention to. Is there anything to pay attention to? 1, the sealant in the deep pit and fissure is generally completely cured within 7 hours, fasting within 2 hours after operation, and forbidden to chew food with closed teeth within one day to avoid biting hard and coarse food. 2. Within a few days after the operation, it is found that the closed teeth have high occlusion or pain when eating, so it is necessary to return to the clinic in time. 3. Due to the abrasion of saliva and other reasons, the pit and fissure seal falls off. Children who have done pit and fissure sealant should check the mirror when brushing their teeth every day, or parents should pay attention to observe whether the pit and fissure sealant falls off. 4, pit and fissure sealant after surgery every 3 months or 6 months to review once, found that the problem handled in time. Within 2 years, the sealant can basically remain intact to prevent dental caries.
Question 6: What is pit and fissure sealant? Pit and fissure sealant is composed of polymer resin and curing agent, which has good fluidity. When it is applied to the tooth surface, the resin quickly penetrates into the pit and fissure, and the cured tooth surface forms a protective barrier, which prevents bacteria and food residues from entering the pit and fissure, thus preventing dental caries in the pit and fissure of the tooth surface.
It has obvious characteristics: reducing caries rate, less cost and pain, and beautiful color. At present, pit and fissure sealing has been considered by the World Health Organization as a safe and effective caries prevention material, which can reduce the incidence of dental caries by more than 80%, and it is non-toxic and non-toxic, and even if it falls off, it will not cause harm to human body. It is a method worth popularizing to prevent dental caries in children.
It has achieved good results in the clinical application of Shanghai Itemi Oral Cavity, and now the occurrence of dental caries in primary school students is characterized by younger age and more serious, so it is urgent to prevent dental caries.
Question 7: What is pit and fissure sealing? Tooth pit and fissure sealing is to use a material (synthetic organic polymer resin which is harmless to human body and can self-coagulate) to coat it in the cross pit and fissure of teeth. When it is liquid, it can penetrate into the pit and fissure on the surface of teeth and cure after illumination. It's like putting a protective coat on your teeth to protect them from food erosion.
Question 8: What materials are commonly used for tooth pit and fissure sealing? At present, the dental pit and fissure sealant used in clinic is light-cured resin. Different from ordinary resin for filling teeth, pit and fissure sealant has low strength and higher fluidity, which is beneficial for resin to enter tiny gaps and prevent bacteria from invading.
The child's teeth are deep and prone to caries. It is recommended to change hospitals and close them early.
