Cariology
Dental caries is an infectious microbiological disease of teeth that results in localized dissolution and destruction of the calcified tissues.
S. Mutans have been demonstrated to have significant potential to cause caries

Pit & fissure: highest prevalence of all dental caries
- narrow opening, almost impossible to clean
- Plaque accumulation (bacteria harbor)
- Fluoride is less effective to prevent pit & fissure caries

Management of deep fissure
Prophylactic odontomy (Hyatt 1923) Eliminating all susceptible fissures by cutting
a shallow, minimal width class I cavity in enamel. Then the cavity is filled with amalgam
Destructive, committed to
a restoration

Management of deep fissure
Fissure eradication (Bodecker 1929) Fissures reshaped by reducing the steep
cuspal inclines so that the occlusal surface is more readily cleansed by the patient
Destructive

Management of deep fissure
Enameloplasty Grinding away enamel on developmental
deep pit and fissure to create a smooth, saucer-shaped surface which is self cleansing or easily cleaned
![Page 11: Of. Objectives Students should be able to Explain concept of pit fissure sealant and Preventive resin restoration (PRR) Discuss advantages, disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061606/551b4b66550346ae7a8b4fa3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Management of deep fissure
Fluoride Systemic/topical F¯ most effective in
preventing smooth surface caries but least effective in occlusal surface
It is speculated that neither stannous nor acidulated fluoride is able to impregnate the enamel at the depths of the fissures

Pit and fissure sealant
![Page 13: Of. Objectives Students should be able to Explain concept of pit fissure sealant and Preventive resin restoration (PRR) Discuss advantages, disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061606/551b4b66550346ae7a8b4fa3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Management of deep fissure
Pit fissure sealing The idea is to form a barrier that protects pits
and fissures against bacteria and fermentable foods like sugars and starches, and thereby helps to prevent decay from starting deep within these fissures
![Page 14: Of. Objectives Students should be able to Explain concept of pit fissure sealant and Preventive resin restoration (PRR) Discuss advantages, disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061606/551b4b66550346ae7a8b4fa3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pit & fissure sealants were first introduced in 1967 by Cueto & BuonocoreEnamel is etched and bonded with resinFissure is sealed and protected from the ingress of plaque, microflora, and oral fluid.
![Page 15: Of. Objectives Students should be able to Explain concept of pit fissure sealant and Preventive resin restoration (PRR) Discuss advantages, disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061606/551b4b66550346ae7a8b4fa3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bacteria remaining in sealed fissures?
Studies have shown a decrease in numbers of microorganisms in lesions under intact sealants, and caries progression appeared negligible
Jenson & Handelman 1980, Handelman & Leverett 1985, Martz-Hfairhurst et al 1986
![Page 16: Of. Objectives Students should be able to Explain concept of pit fissure sealant and Preventive resin restoration (PRR) Discuss advantages, disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061606/551b4b66550346ae7a8b4fa3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Advantages & Disadvantages
Caries is prevented as long as fissures remain completely sealed
If there is lost or leakage of the sealants, the tooth is once again at risk to caries
Needs periodic evaluation
![Page 17: Of. Objectives Students should be able to Explain concept of pit fissure sealant and Preventive resin restoration (PRR) Discuss advantages, disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061606/551b4b66550346ae7a8b4fa3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Indications

directly related to sealant retentionSealant placement also leads to a reduced
prevalence of restorations having to be placed later on.

Sealant failure
Usually occurs at enamel-resin interface
Mostly caused by saliva or moisture contamination during application

Preventive Resin Restoration
Treatment of small carious lesions where caries is removed and restored with composite resin.Fissure sealant is then applied to the surrounding pits and fissures
![Page 41: Of. Objectives Students should be able to Explain concept of pit fissure sealant and Preventive resin restoration (PRR) Discuss advantages, disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061606/551b4b66550346ae7a8b4fa3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Preventive Resin Restoration
Introduced by Simonsen and Stallard in 1977
Minimally invasive
G.V. Black “extension for prevention” is no longer practised
Small carious lesions within pits and fissures were removed and restored with composite resin while the remaining healthy fissures were sealed with a pit and fissure sealant
![Page 42: Of. Objectives Students should be able to Explain concept of pit fissure sealant and Preventive resin restoration (PRR) Discuss advantages, disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061606/551b4b66550346ae7a8b4fa3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Advantages
Conservative approach
Minimum intervention -conserve more tooth structure
More aesthetic compared to amalgam
![Page 43: Of. Objectives Students should be able to Explain concept of pit fissure sealant and Preventive resin restoration (PRR) Discuss advantages, disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061606/551b4b66550346ae7a8b4fa3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Disadvantages
Needs absolute moisture control
Bonding procedures are very technique sensitive
More time consuming
Failure to proper bonding will lead to leakage and recurrent caries
![Page 44: Of. Objectives Students should be able to Explain concept of pit fissure sealant and Preventive resin restoration (PRR) Discuss advantages, disadvantages](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061606/551b4b66550346ae7a8b4fa3/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
