[Efficient methods of prevention and treatment of permanent first molars before completion of root formation]
Abstract:
Examination of first molars among 124 children, age range 7-8 years, showed high intensity of caries disease. Detection and prevention of risk factors, also practical use of prevention and treatment methods existed in clinical stomatology, especially before completion of root formation of permanent teeth, is extremely important. Results showed that deep fluoridation of fissures of permanent teeth with enamel Hermetisation Liquid (A. Knappfost) is very effective method for preventing dental caries. Caries was reduced in 96% of cases. Cultivation of cavity with above-mentioned solution, right before restoration prevents reoccurrence of caries and pulpal complications that is very important for future growth and formation of roots of permanent teeth and for functional value of permanent teeth themselves.
