A 7-year-old patient is being evaluated for dental sealants. Which of the following is a
contraindication for the placement of a sealant on the given tooth?
-deep fissures in the occlusal of the tooth "a" without evidence of additional caries
-presence of well-coalesced grooves and pits in tooth #30
-an occlusal pit in #3 without evidence of additional caries
-a lingual pit in the cingulum of tooth #8 without evidence of additional caries
Give this one a try later!
presence of well-coalesced grooves and pits in tooth #30
Which type of sealant requires an external light source to set the resin?
-photopolymerizing
-chemical cured
-autopolymerizing
-compound cured
,Give this one a try later!
photopolymerizing
When comparing sealant material with fillers to sealant material without fillers, sealant
material with fillers
-has limited resistance to abrasion
-enhances caries resistance
-increases the bond strength
-remineralizes decalcified enamel
Give this one a try later!
increases the bond strength
Sealant application would be contraindicated in patients
-with occlusal surface dental decay
-with deep pit and fissure grooves
-with newly erupted permanent teeth
-over the age of 21
Give this one a try later!
with occlusal surface dental decay
The most likely cause of sealant failure is
-inadequate moisture control
-etching the tooth surface for too long
, -improperly mixing the sealant material
-contamination of the tooth w/ biofilm
Give this one a try later!
inadequate moisture control
Which type of sealant contains fluoride?
-composite resin
-glass ionomer
-photopolymerized
-bis-GMA
Give this one a try later!
glass ionomer
Which of the following oral conditions may indicate the need for sealant placement?
-irregular tooth structures
-radiographic evidence of proximal dental caries
-partially erupted permanent first molar
-incipient lesion located in the pits and fissures
Give this one a try later!
incipient lesion located in the pits and fissures
What is one of the key factors to assure successful sealant retention?
-minimize surface mineralization
