The sealed composite resin restoration

This composite restoration-sealant combination is only to be considered for the small pit and fissure caries lesion. Bitewing radiographs should indicate no smooth surface interproximal caries in the teeth to be restored in this manner. All teeth treated with the composite restoration-sealant combination should be carefully evaluated at periodic recall visits. There is no single perfect conservative restoration for the young patient. Each of us must decide, on an individual basis, the appropriate type of procedure we elect to use. The sealed composite resin restoration can be very effective in carefully selected cases.
