Fissure sealing is a very effective treatment to prevent caries of pits and fissures in children (the most common).

What we do is placing a transparent or white material in the pits and fissures of those teeth that are susceptible to the development of caries, acting as a physical barrier that prevents the access of bacteria to the surface of the teeth, as well as the deposit of bacterial residue (which is the source of nutrients for bacteria).

Fissure sealing is indicated in children at high risk of tooth decay and should be performed as soon as possible (at the end of teeth eruption).
