Sealants
It is a cavity prevention technique that consists of the application of a material on the surfaces of the teeth in the posterior section of the mouth (premolars and molars).
It is made with a material that tends to wear out and even come off, so it can lose its effectiveness if it is not monitored properly. Follow-up, therefore, must be done over the years.
It is indicated mainly in children who have molars or premolars with an anatomical shape predisposing for the accumulation of bacterial plaque and consequently for the formation of cavities on their surface.
