Comparison of Different Methods of Enamel Preparation Before Pit and Fissure Sealants

This study concerns the prevention of dental caries by sealing pits and fissures of permanent molars with a photopolymerizable resin. It must compare these three techniques Microdentisty (air abrasion, abrasion and sound using small cutters) usually used to prepare micro cavities in the enamel and / or the outer third of the dentin. These three commonly used techniques have never been compared by retaining as endpoint retention of sealant. These techniques are painless and do not require local anesthesia.

Treatment and study plan

air abrasion

Procedure

already used intervention to prepare micro cavities of the dental to be treated by a photopolymerizable resin

sono abrasion

Primary outcomes

observation of quality of treatment

Time frame: 2 years

Compare enamel preparation techniques of air abrasion and sound abrasion technique enameloplasty (pits and fissures extended to the dental bur) the more conventionally used to identify the most effective as using endpoint retention of material sealing of pits and fissures.
