Use of sealing methods to regulate the maturation processes of hard tissues in children’s temporary molars

One of the main etiotropic methods of caries prevention is fissure sealing. There were carried out clinical and laboratory examinations of 468 intact first and second temporary molars at the eruption stage in 61 children aged from 11 months to 4 years. The method of fissure sealing was used for those teeth. It was established that the modified glass ionomeric cement having been used during 12 months for sealing fissures in the erupting temporary molars in younger children, decreases the risk of caries arising by 95.26%. Enamel maturation in teeth which have lost hermetics is accelerated by 33.54%.
