Resumen
Los Sellantes de fosas y fisuras ingresaron al mundo odontológico en
1960 y se comercializan desde 1971. El término se refiere a la terapia
dental en la que se coloca un material en las irregularidades retentivas de
las piezas dentarias, tanto para prevenir el inicio de la caries dental, como
para arrestar las lesiones cariosas incipientes. La idea de su aplicación es
generar una barrera física para evitar el acumulo de los microorganismos
cariogénicos y de las partículas alimentarias en las fosas y fisuras de los
dientes.
Se constituyen como una medida preventiva segura y eficaz, que ha sido
ampliamente difundida y estudiada en Odontología.
La Prevención de la caries dental en sus diversas formas, está muy
difundida hoy en día. Y dentro del consultorio dental se realiza una
prevención más efectiva y dentro de lo clínico más específica.
La fluoración de la aguas de consumo ha sido altamente efectiva en la
prevención de la caries de las superficies lisas, sin embargo, no es
efectiva para la caries de fosas y fisuras, aproximadamente, el 90% de las
lesiones cariosas ocurren en las fosas y fisuras de premolares y molares.
Los sellantes de fosas y fisuras son el tratamiento caries-preventivo más
efectivo que se le puede proporcionar al paciente.
El cierre de las fosas y las fisuras de las superficies dentarias por medio
de sustancias adhesivas que luego permanecen firmemente unidas al
esmalte constituye un procedimiento preventivo y terapéutico de
extraordinario valor, aunque una de las objeciones es la duda sobre la
capacidad de retención del sellador.
The Pit and Fissure Sealants entered the dental world 1960 and marketed since 1971. The term refers to therapy dental in which a material is placed in the retentive irregularities the teeth , both to prevent the onset of dental caries, as to arrest the incipient carious lesions . The idea of its implementation is generating a physical barrier to prevent the accumulation of microorganisms cariogenic and food particles in the pits and fissures of teeth. They are established as a safe and effective preventive measure , it has been widely studied and Dentistry . Preventing tooth decay in its various forms , is very widespread today. And within the dental office makes a effectively and in the most specific clinical prevention. Fluoridation of drinking water has been highly effective in prevention of caries in smooth surfaces, however, is not effective caries pit and fissure , about 90 % of carious lesions occur in the pits and fissures of premolars and molars. The Pit and fissure sealants are the most decay - preventive treatment cash that can provide to the patient. The closure of the pits and fissures of the tooth surfaces by adhesive substances which then remain firmly attached to Enamel is a preventive and therapeutic procedure extraordinary value , although one of the objections is doubt about the sealant retention capacity.
