"Sealants are one of the best preventative measures we can offer our patients...We have the tools to help our patients keep their teeth for a lifetime. The future of dental health is now. Let’s make sealants a bigger part of our office’s preventative goal."
Dr. Doniger, Sheri B. "Sealants...What a Great Idea!" Dental Equipment and Materials (March/April 2004):66
Healthy People 2010 Initiative Object 21-8 states "increase the proportion of children who have received dental sealants on their molar teeth." Target percentage = 50% of children to have received a dental sealant by 2010.

"Aegis Pit and Fissure Sealant (Harry J. Bosworth Company), is the first dental material of its kind to include ACP in its formulation. The goal of application is to not only seal pits and fissures, but also to promote remineralization of tooth structure internally by the release of ACP. ACP has the potential of offering clinical long term benefits to the natural tooth surfaces to which we affix all of our dental restorative materials."
Dr. Robert A. Lowe, DDS, FAGD, FICD, FADI, FACD
