Aegis Pit and Fissure Sealant is a light-cured sealant that contains the “smart material” Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP). The ACP filler is resilient and flexible, creating a stronger and longer lasting sealant. Aegis P&F can be used with any light-curing device and offers the added convenience of dispensing through syringe tips. Aegis’ controlled flowability keeps the sealant on the tooth while completely filling the pits and fissures. When properly maintained and placed, Aegis forms a chemical and thermal barrier that can help keep patients free from carious lesions on the occlusal surfaces. The new resin formula allows for better flow and handling. Sealant cures to an opaque film on enamel. Standard kit
contains material for approximately 30 patients.
Product Review
Aegis Pit & Fissure Sealant was evaluated in the October 2008 issue of the
ADA Professional Product Review, a publication of the American Dental
Association’s Council on Scientific Affairs. Learn more here.
*Aegis products contain the “smart material” Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP). ACP slowly releases calcium and phosphate ions, the basic building blocks of teeth. In scientific testing ACP has demonstrated
the ability to remineralize tooth structure by enhancing the tooth’s natural repair mechanism. ACP is referred
to as a “smart material” because it only releases calcium and phosphate ions when the surrounding pH
drops to a level where it could start to dissolve the tooth. Once the calcium phosphate is released, it will
act to neutralize the acid and buffer the pH. ACP acts as a reinforcement to the tooth’s natural defense
system only when it’s needed.
