Prevent light cure resin cement (FGM)

Sealing of pits and fissures of posterior teeth with complex anatomy, in patients with high cariogenic activity and in newly erupted teeth.

Step by Step

• Cheek occlusal contacts, noticing whether there are zones of acclusal interference in the pit and fissure region.
• Isolate the tooth preferably with absolute isolation, or efficient relative isolation. Perform prophylaxis to clean the surface, using cups or brushes.
• Apply Condac 37 (FGM) Phosphoric acid conditioner for 30 seconds, wash thoroughly and dry the surface.
• The etch enamal will have a whitish opaque appearance and should be left free from fluid contamination. if the area is contaminated, repeat the isolation maneuver (if necessary )   and acid etching.
• Adapt the application tip to the Prevent syringe and apply the resin throughout the pits and fissures area, avoiding areas of occlusal interference.
• Light cure the product for 20 seconds*. *Light cure time defined considering a blue light photopolymerizing device with a power density above 400 mW/cm2. Equipment with lower power requires longer exposure time. There is no risk of overexposure.
• Recheck the occlusion.
• Care for maintaining treatment: it is essential that after the application of Prevent the patient is included in a preventive program with control of hygiene and diet, and that the integrity of the sealant is checked periodically. If there is a deficiency, the diagnosis of caries must be reassessed before sealing again.
