FISSURE SEALING WITH SEALING WAX AT CHILDREN

Sealing with sealing wax consists in the filling of furrows/fissures and anatomical hollows in teeth with fricative sealing wax (with sealer). It has been for a few years routine preventive treatment concerning teeth premolars and molars.
On account of their structure furrows and cracks on chewing surfaces are places which relatively are hard to cleanse of nutritional remains. Even at very good hygiene it is not possible to remove the bacterial tile from furrows and cracks as the diameter of some of them is in some places smaller than the diameter of the hair of a toothbrush. Such a situation facilitates the development of the bacteria and supports coming into existence of the sources of carious illness already in the early period of the permanent dentition.
In order to protect the tooth against the cariogenesis, a preventive treatment of sealing furrows with sealing wax is applicable. It is performed by the dental surgeon and is completely painless for the patient. 
The sealer fills furrows and the cracks on the chewing plane of the tooth, making it impossible for nutritional remains and the bacterial tile to invade the tooth. In this way a tooth is safeguarded against the tooth decay. Fluoride contained in the sealing wax gradually frees itself and it additionally is strengthening the glaze of teeth.
In order for the treatment of sealing with sealing wax to become effective the best option is  carrying it out up to 6 months after coming out of permanent teeth. Teeth sealed with sealing wax should be healthy without centres of the tooth decay.

Before performing the treatment of sealing with sealing wax, the dental surgeon is cleaning precisely the surfaces of the tooth with the brush. Next he dries it with compressed air and isolates it from the saliva. A pickler which ensures the correct maintenance of the sealing wax is being put on this way prepared tooth. After 60 seconds the pickler is removed from the surface of enamel, and the tooth is dried one more time. A sealing wax is being put on furrows hardened with the help of the halogen lamp.
The sealed tooth should be controlled every 6 months so that in case of loss of the part or the whole of the sealing wax, the repeated sealing should be done. Correctly conducted treatment of sealing teeth with sealing wax enables to reduce the frequency of appearing of dental caries as much as of 90%.
