In children in particular, caries often occurs on the chewing surfaces of the permanent molars, which erupt from around the age of 6. To prevent this caries, a so-called fissure sealing of the chewing surfaces can be carried out, which closes the fissures (depressions on the chewing surface). Its effectiveness has been proven in many scientific studies.<\/p>\n<p>Fissure sealing is mainly carried out on caries-free fissures of the large permanent molars, as these sealants are covered by statutory health insurance. However, it is just as useful on the small permanent molars (premolars) and can also be performed there.<\/p>\n<p>Before fissure sealing, the tooth surface is first cleaned and then conditioned (roughened) with an acid gel. The gel is rinsed off and the tooth surface dried. The sealing material is then applied. This is a flowable resin that closes the fissures and is hardened with UV light.<\/p>\n<p>A sealant is always checked during routine dental check-ups. If parts of the sealant have been lost, a new sealant can be applied if the fissure is still caries-free.<\/p>\n<p>Fissure sealing is a very important part of modern prophylaxis and has led to a significant reduction in caries in children and adolescents.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"parent":16419,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16434","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fissure sealing: Effective caries protection for children<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Fissure sealants effectively protect children&#039;s teeth from caries.
