Dental pit and fissure sealants are thin, resin-based coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of teeth to prevent decay by sealing deep grooves and fissures where bacteria can accumulate. Clinically, they act as a protective barrier, reducing the risk of cavities in children and adults with susceptible tooth anatomy, particularly molars and premolars.
These devices are typically single-use and come in various forms, including syringes or brush-on applicators, with some requiring light activation. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk profile, often requiring compliance with dental material standards and good manufacturing practices.
