Description:

Pit and Fissure Sealant

BIOSEAL LIGHT CURING was developed to be applied on the occlusal surface of the teeth. After polymerization BIOSEAL LIGHT CURING forms a resistant and continuous film, used to seal pit and fissures preventing them against caries.
BIOSEAL LIGHT CURING also presents a complementary prophylactic action due to the Fluoride present in its formula.
Using of sealants has been highly recommended considering its performance in reducing caries.

Advantages:

-Contains two fluoride sources (Sodium and Calcium Fluoride). This will allow a fast initial action of the product (Sodium Fluoride) and a longer and deeper action (Calcium Fluoride)
-Light Curing;
-High adhesion rate;
-Excellent flow – good runoff on pits and fissures;
-Fluor liberation – Anti cavity activity;
-Lowest rates of cavity return in sealed teeth.

Presentation:

1 syringe with 2,5g of BIOSEAL LIGHT CURING;
Use instructions:

The efficiency of sealing depends on the correct penetration of the sealant in the conditioned enamel.

1. Clean occlusal surfaces including pits and fissures, with pumice powder and water;
2. Isolate the teeth to be sealed using cotton rolls or rubber dam and dry them well;
3. Etching with 37% Orthophosforic Acid (a.e. Attaque Gel), during 30 seconds on the enamel;
4. Rinse with water during 30 seconds to remove the etching precipitates;
5. Dry thoroughly. The presence of humidity in the cleaned surface will impede the penetration of the resin in the conditioned area;
6. If the surface comes in contact with saliva, the etching and drying procedures must be repeated;
(etch again for 10 seconds and dry);
7. The appropriately conditioned area should present a chalky white appearance; this not happening, repeat the procedure;
8. Place enough amount of BIOSEAL LIGHT CURING along all pits and fissures extension, taking care to avoid the air entrapment;
9. Expose all faces of the sealed area to be light cured during 20 seconds.
10. Check occlusion and grind off any excess material, if necessary;
11. Check adhesion with an explorer.

CONTROL AND REAPPLICATION:
The applied sealant must be examined every 6 months. If it is totally absent, the reapplication must be done, following the use instructions. If parts of the sealant are present, use sharpened instruments to test its adherence. The sealant surface firmly adhered can receive a new sealant layer.
