Technology

saves teeth |

DENTISTS are now able to pro-
tect children’s teeth from decay by
coating them with wear-resistant
plastics.

Known to dentists as pit and
fissure sealants, these plastics con-
stitute ‘‘the most dramatic advance
in dental decay prevention to come
along since the advent of
fluorides,’ said Hazel Harper,
D.D.S., a Washington, D.C., den-
-tist and a consumer advisor for the
American Dental Association.

As Dr. Harper explained, when
a child’s back teeth are developing,
microscopic grooves and depres-
sions form in the chewing and
biting surfaces of the enamel- the
hard outer covering on teeth.

“These irregularities are places
where bacteria and food particles
collect,"* she said. ‘‘They’re
breeding grounds for decay.”’

Through a process commonly
known as bonding, liquid plastics
are layered over these rough sur-
faces, hardening to form a protec-
tive shield. Each tooth can be seal-
ed in minutes, without drilling or
anesthesia.

Studies conducted since the early
1970s show that the sealants are
safe and effective in fighting cavi-
ties.

Richard Simonsen, D.D.S., an
assistant professor of dentistry at
the University of Connecticut,
supervised a study completed fast
year that involved 200 Minneapolis
children, half of whom had four of
their back teeth sealed, while the
other half went without sealants.

After five years, the sealant
group was 94 per cent cavity-free
on sealed tooth surfaces; 59 per
ernt of the same teeth in the group
without sealants were decayed.””
