90

More than __% of adults in the U.S will experience a dental cavity by the age of 30.

true

t/f: sealants can inhibit the progression of noncavitated caries lesions

isolation

what is the most important factor in placing a resin sealant?

resin sealant

what type of sealants require the following procedure?
1.ISOLATE
2.Pumice occlusal surface
3.Etch enamel 30 seconds
4.Rinse
5.Flow resin into grooves
6.Agitate with clean explorer
7.Light cure 30 seconds

GI sealants

what type of sealants require the following procedure?
1.Pumice occlusal surface
2.Click capsule
3.Triturate for 10 seconds
4. 3 clicks in the gun and it will
5.Flow into grooves
6.Smooth with wet gloved finger

GI sealants

these sealants are moisture friendly. They can chemically bond to the enamel and dentin in a wet field and are self curing via an acid-base reaction

resin modified GI sealants

these sealants are hybrids that set partially via acid base and partially via photo-chemical polymerization. It's hybrid nature means it has less sensitivity to water and a longer working time but is still not as moisture tolerant as a true GI nor as retentive as a true bonded resin

compomers

these sealants they do not contain water, are hydrophobic and can be polymerized after positioning the bonding agents (so you’re still etching too); similarly to the GIs they release fluoride, but in much smaller amounts

resin sealant

for these sealants, you have to acid etch first and the field needs to be completely dry. More wear resistance and stronger bond to enamel
