Resumen
El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo determinar la importancia de los sellantes de fosas y fisuras en niños especiales, debido a que se han observado que existe una inadecuada aplicación de los sellantes de fosas y fisuras, lo que induce a fracaso en la adhesión de estos llevando consigo filtraciones marginales con grandes consecuencias, también hay miedo y temor de atender aquellos niños por su discapacidad. Si nos fijamos en la anatomía de los dientes en especial en la de los premolares y molares, nos podemos dar cuenta de que tienen superficies lisas y superficies rugosas, estas últimas son llamadas fosas y fisuras y están ubicadas en la superficie oclusal. La superficie oclusal es aquella que usamos para masticar los alimentos, a veces es muy difícil eliminar los restos de alimentos y la placa bacteriana de esas superficies rugosas. Para evitar que se produzca caries dental en la superficie oclusal, hay que colocar en ella un material que se adhiere al esmalte de los dientes, que es llamado Sellantes de Fosas y Fisuras. La misión de los dientes temporarios es aparte de hacer la tarea de la masticación, de la estética, de la fonética, es la de mantener el espacio para los futuros dientes permanentes, por eso en esa etapa de la vida cuando todavía los niños necesitan ser ayudados para cepillarse bien, es necesario usar todas las medidas preventivas posibles para evitar que pierdan la salud de sus dientes. Los niños con necesidades especiales tienen una alta incidencia de caries y enfermedades de las encías debido a una serie de factores locales y ambientales. Esto los convierte en un grupo de riesgo que presenta una gran necesidad de cuidados dentales desde edades tempranas. A pesar de ello, las medidas preventivas de salud oral en estos niños no son tan prioritarias.
This research aims to determine the importance of the sealing of pits and fissures in special children , because they have observed that there is an improper application of the sealing of pits and fissures , which leads to failure in the adhesion of bringing these marginal leakage with large consequences , there is also fear and dread of meeting those children by their disability . If you look at the anatomy of the teeth especially the molars and premolars , we can realize that they have smooth surfaces and rough surfaces , the latter are called pits and fissures and are located on the occlusal surface. The occlusal surface is one that we use to chew food , it is sometimes very difficult to remove food debris and plaque from these rough surfaces. To prevent dental caries in the occlusal surface occurs, it should be placed in a material that adheres to the tooth enamel , which is called Pit and Fissure Sealants . The mission of deciduous teeth is beyond making the task of mastication , aesthetics , phonetics , is to keep the space for future permanent teeth , so at that stage of life when children still need to be helped to brush well , you must use all possible precautions to prevent loss of the health of their teeth. Children with special needs have a high incidence of tooth decay and gum disease due to a number of local and environmental factors. This makes them a risk group that has a great need for dental care from an early age . However , preventive measures of oral health in these children are not as priority.
