CONCLUSIONS
Dental Sealants are very beneficial in preventing pit and fissure caries if they are completely retained on the tooth surface. Underutilization of sealants as a method of disease prevention continues to be a dental community health issue. Unfortunately, some clini- cians perceive a high failure rate for sealants and therefore do not recommend them.
Without question, when applied aptly, sealants are an exceptional preventive measure for patients at high risk for caries.
