Kuraray America

TEETHMATE F1, a fluoride-releasing, lightcured pit and fissure sealant contains the adhesive monomer MDP. This is the same chemistry used in Panavia and CLEARFIL SE BOND, ensuring great defense against caries due to excellent long-term sealing. It is an unfilled composite of low viscosity that penetrates deep into pits and fissures with easy direct delivery. It is available in shades that include natural (transparent) and opaque. For more information, call (800) 879-1676 or visit kuraraydental.com.

Pulpdent

Embrace WetBond Pit and Fissure Sealant bonds to the moist tooth and integrates with tooth structure, creating a strong, margin-free bond that virtually eliminates microleakage. After curing, clinicians report they cannot find the margin with an explorer. Long-term clinical studies show unsurpassed results. There is no chipping or staining. It contains no Bis-GMA and no bisphenol A. It is available in convenient syringes in natural and off-white shades. For more information, call (800) 343-4342 or visit the Web site pulpdent.com.

GC America

GC Fuji TRIAGE seals and protects tooth enamel. This revolutionary glass ionomer and surface protectant requires no isolation or bonding agent and works in a moist field. It provides 6 times more fluoride than any other sealant. It is available in white for fully erupted teeth and pink for newly erupted molars. You can start your young patients off right the right way with GC Fuji TRIAGE. For more information, call (800) 323-7063 or visit the Web site gcamerica.com.

Cosmedent

CosmeSeal offers 2 powerful, light-cured pit and fissure sealants that guarantee strong protection against carious attacks. CosmeSeal-Filled is the first microfill sealant that outperforms all hybrid sealants by creating a high polish that eliminates plaque and stain accumulation. CosmeSeal-Clear is an unfilled sealant that offers excellent delivery, easy placement, and a remarkably natural blend to tooth structure. Both sealants have a low viscosity and a nonrunny consistency, allowing the practitioner to place the material where it is needed without any excess buildup. For more information, call (800) 621-6729 or visit cosmedent.com.

Ivoclar Vivadent

Pits and fissures are highly susceptible to caries, as even the best of oral hygiene measures are often inadequately effective in these areas. These susceptible areas can be protected by sealing them with Helioseal, Helioseal F, or Helioseal Clear. The Helioseal range protects fissures by forming an impenetrable layer. For more information, call (800) 533-6825.

DMG America

EcuSeal pit and fissure sealant is a resinbased sealant that protects occlusal surfaces against decay. Its patented hydrophilic chemistry contains a filler system that releases fluoride to make enamel more resistant to decay. The material is easy to handle and exhibits excellent flow characteristics. Its superior pit and fissure protection is dispensed with the highly accurate EcuPen Applicator Tool to provide controlled placement of the materials. Flexible Mikro-Tips can be easily bent to any angle or curve to reach any surface. For more information, call (800) 662-6383.

Ultradent Products

UltraSeal XT plus is a lightcured, radiopaque, pit and fissure sealant, making it stronger and more wearresistant. Because it is a 58% filled resin, it has less polymerization shrinkage than competitive products. The spiral brush action of the tip causes shear thinning of the filled, thixotropic material, reducing viscosity as it’s placed. When used in conjunction with Ultradent’s PrimaDry (the priming and drying agent), microleakage is virtually eliminated, resulting in a significantly superior seal. For more information,call (800) 552-5512.

VOCO America

For Grandio Seal, the first nanofissure sealant, VOCO was able to increase the filler degree to 70% (weight) without changing the viscosity of traditional sealants. The highest filler degree of all fissure sealants gives it outstanding wear resistance and a reduced shrinkage, which is otherwise only achieved with the best flowable composites. It comes in VOCO’s new, patented nondripping syringe, which is able to avoid messy trays and saves material. It does not drip and can be precisely applied with the extrathin, bendable metal tip.

Guardian Seal
Guardian Seal is a fluoridereleasing pit and fissure sealant that provides superior protection against occlusal decay. This 30% resinfilled material offers the perfect combination of flow, opacity, and wear resistance. Unlike most sealants, it is opaque enough for detection yet translucent enough to allow the practitioner to see underneath. A patented monomer fluoride yields a higher concentration fluoride release. It is completely disposable after multiple uses and has a flocked brush tip. Its unique delivery tip provides easy placement of material.

OptiGUARD
OptiGuard is a fluoride-releasing composite surface sealant comprising unfilled, lightcured resin material. It fills and strengthens the composite surface after finishing. Highspeed finishing techniques often create cracks and pits on the restored surface, and OptiGuard fills these areas with a hardened resin, which guards against premature wear and staining. It fills marginal gaps and microcracks on the surface and its easytouse, simplified procedure saves you time. It helps prevent caries with fluoride protection.

For more information, call (800) KERR123.

SDI (North America)

Conseal f
Conseal f is a fluoride-releasing, resin-based pit and fissure sealant. With the lowest viscosity resin sealant available and having a 27g microfine tip, it flows faster and deeper into the prepared pits and fissures. It is 7% filled, and a low viscosity etchant (Super Etch LV) is provided in the kit. It is available in singledose compules and 1g syringes.

Riva Protect
Riva Protect is a self-cured, glass ionomer pit and fissure sealant that can also be used for tooth protection and as a liner. Releasing large amounts of fluoride, it chemically bonds to the tooth surface without the need for etching or applying an adhesive. Its special nanotechnology additive, amorphous calcium phosphate, greatly assists in remineralization of the tooth structure.

Shofu

Clear Check SLP, Shofu’s clear pit and fissure sealant, is approved for use with caries-detection devices. Eliminating the concern of hidden caries, it seals teeth effectively, allowing for the detection of decay beneath the restoration. Clear Check, a therapeutic sealant that encourages remineralization and has a high fluoride release, is honeycolored when applied and cures clear. Composed of a nanofiller, which gives it extremely high compressive strength, it is resistant to occlusal wear and easy to place. For more information, call (800) 827-4638 or visit shofu.com.

3M ESPE

Clinpro Sealant goes on pink for easy-to-use application and cures to a natural white. Applied with a convenient, ultrafine syringe tip, its low-viscosity formula flows easily into pits and fissures. It easily bonds to enamel and contains and releases fluoride. Simplify your sealant technique by eliminating the phosphoric acidetch step with use of Adper Prompt L-Pop Self-Etch Adhesive.
