Sealer of graves and fissures

Commonly, caries is originated in areas where is easier the retention of food remains. Those zones are specifically identified by a kind of grooves called graves and fissures when the accumulation is concentrated.

There are two principal agents that contribute: the first is related to the food that after the chewing transform itself into a kind of sugar and/or refined sugar in shape of candies and drinks because those create acid and deteriorate the graves and fissures, starting development of caries process.

One efficient way to control that destructive process is the utilization or sealers. In Control Odontologico Integral we have the possibility to apply a liquid resin over grooves and sealed them. That why the name "sealer of graves and fissures".

Only a few seconds after application, this liquid resin get harden and create a plastic layer so stronger and hard to resist chewing that elude destructive agents get stored in those grooves predispose to caries.

That kind of plastic comes in transparent tones or tooth tone, giving a good appearance, although, the sealing is not definitive. It requires attention every 6 months to what over sealers not be damage or loosen, in that cases will applicate resin again.

If your child have ever needed a sealer of graves and fissures, you must remember treatment is not forever. It is essential to follow a diet low in sugar and, of course, the mouth cleaning trough a toothbrush after each food. That closes the cycle of dental care.
