Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prevention of decay is most effective in occlusal pits because anatomic features increase sealant retention.Although more difficult and less predictable in other areas,various authors have suggested techniques to improve retention rates in areas not typically sealed.It is possible to place sealants interproximally only when adjacent space exists;this occasionally happens during the mixed dentition.
