Fissure Sealer (Tooth Vaccination)

Fissure sealant provides closure of the recesses in the molars called “fissures”. Fissure sealant prevents bacteria and nutrients from reaching and adhering to the deep and narrow fissures on the chewing surfaces of molar teeth, which are the most prone to caries.

Dental caries usually begins in the pits and mounds on the chewing surfaces of primary and permanent molars. These areas, called pits and fissures, are very narrow and bruises begin due to the inability to clean the food. Deep pits are closed with a fluid filling material called fissure sealant in order to prevent caries that may occur as a result of food and microorganism accumulation in these areas.
