Tight Junctions

Tight Junctions

Tight junctions are molecular seals between cells that prevent the leaking of fluids, ions, and other small solutes across cavities and compartments in multicellular organisms. They are mainly composed of claudin and occludin transmembrane proteins, and other proteins such as tricellulin and JAM (junctional adhesion molecule). All these proteins are 4-pass transmembrane proteins, except JAM, which is a single-pass transmembrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The...

Cavity Drainage and Flashings in Masonry walls

Cavity Drainage and Flashings in Masonry walls

Typically, a cavity wall consists of two wythes separated by a gap of at least 2 inches, which may contain insulation while still maintaining a minimum clear space of 1 inch to facilitate adequate drainage. Advanced methods like the insertion of a continuous drainage mat can further reduce this space while ensuring effective moisture expulsion.
Weep holes, strategically placed at the base of the cavity, are critical for draining accumulated water. These openings are created by leaving head...

Sutures of the Skull

Sutures of the Skull

The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Microcracking in Concrete

Microcracking in Concrete

Microcracking in concrete refers to the tiny cracks that can form within the material even before any external load is applied. These microcracks typically occur at the interface between the coarse aggregate and the hydrated cement paste, often as a result of differential volume changes prompted by variations in stress-strain behavior, as well as thermal and moisture movement. Initially, these microcracks remain stable and do not grow substantially until the concrete is stressed to about 30...

Summary

Fissure sealing is a highly effective method for preventing dental caries in children and adolescents. This preventive measure, involving the application of sealants to tooth pits and fissures, is recommended for individuals at risk of developing cavities.

Area of Science:

Dental Public Health
Preventive Dentistry
Caries Management

Context:

Fissure sealing has a 50-year history, evolving with evidence-based approaches.
Dental sealants act as a physical barrier, preventing microbial colonization in tooth pits and fissures.
The primary application is on permanent teeth of children and adolescents at caries risk.

Purpose:

To review 50 years of fissure sealing experience and effectiveness.
To summarize scientific evidence for clinical decision-making.
To highlight fissure sealing as a caries preventive measure.

Summary:

Sealants are highly effective in preventing dental caries when applied by trained professionals.
Resin-based materials are the preferred choice, with glass-ionomer as an interim option.
