Prevent
Light-curing resin sealant for pits and fissures that assists in preventing caries in posterior teeth.
Efficient mechanical barrier on occlusal surface
Ionomer filler
Advantages
Ionomer filler: It allows greater resistance and longevity of the application besides recharging and relieving fluoride to the buccal environment as a way to replace the fluoride that has been released.
Fluoride: Prevents dental demineralization.
Excellent wettability: Perfect adaptation to occlusal topography facilitating hygiene.
Indications
• Sealing of pits and fissures of posterior teeth with complex anatomy, in patients with high
cariogenic activity and in newly erupted teeth.
Check occlusal contacts, noting if there are occlusal interference zones in the areas of pits and fissures.
Isolate the tooth preferably with absolute or relative isolation. Perform prophylaxis to clean the surface, with the help of cups or brushes.
Apply phosphoric acid conditioner (Condac 37 – FGM) for 30 seconds, rinse thoroughly and dry the surface.
The etched enamel will have a whitish opaque appearance and should be kept free from contamination by fluids. If the area becomes contaminated, repeat the isolation procedure (if necessary) and the acid etching.
Adjust the application tip in the Prevent sealant syringe and apply the resin throughout the area of pits and fissures, avoiding occlusal interface regions.Light cure the product for 20 seconds*. *Curing time defined considering a light-curing device with blue light with power density above 400 mW/cm². Equipment with less power requires greater exposure time. There is no risk of overexposure.Check occlusion again.
