Even in the 21st century, dental caries is considered a global burden, severely
upsetting the health and quality of life of those affected. Apart from the usage
of fluoride and regular oral hygiene, one of the most important prophylactic
approaches against the occurrence of caries is the sealing of pits and fissures.
However, the rapid progress of new materials and applications for sealing pits
and fissures also raises new questions about their correct application. Recent
literature on pit and fissure sealing, caries prevention, as well as caries risk
assessment for both children and adults was reviewed. This report provides a
general overview of pit and fissure sealing, the materials used for sealing
occlusal surfaces, as well as indications and possible side effects. The
conclusions are that sealing pit and fissures of primary and permanent teeth is
an effective method for preventing and arresting caries. However, regular
checkups must be conducted to avoid advanced tooth decay attributable to leakages
in the sealing.
