Abstract
Purpose:
To describe and picture a technique for using a resin-bonded sealant reinforced by inclusion of resin-based composite, before polymerization.
Method:
Using an extracted mandibular molar, embedded in plaster and isolated with a rubber dam, a step-by-step depiction of the technique is shown.
Results:
A picture of a six-year-old sealant in a first permanent molar, still in perfect condition, is shown.
Conclusion:
This technique offers a reliable method for treating pits and fissures.
