  • Title: A pit-and-fissure clinical protocol.
    Author: Croll TP, Sundfeld RH, Berg JH.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2005 Dec; 26(12):862-8. PubMed ID: 16389772.
    Abstract:
    Decisions regarding prevention and treatment of dental caries lesions forming in enamel pits and fissures can be challenging because of factors such as the "hidden caries" phenomenon, types of materials to use, methods of bonding restorative materials, and concern for conserving tooth structure. This article identifies the techniques of sealing noncarious pits and fissures and restoring teeth having ongoing caries infection. Treatment protocols are described.
