Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Current evidence suggests that sealants are most effective when applied to teeth that have not experienced caries for many years. Therefore, patients who have been free of caries for several years should not receive sealants as there is no indication that they would benefit. Patients who have pits and fissures on occlusal surfaces (B) and who have no proximal lesions (D) are good candidates for sealants. Additionally, patients who cooperate in maintaining good oral hygiene (A) can benefit from sealants as long as the condition of their teeth indicates that sealants would be effective.
