The range

of use of sealants The potential range of uses of sealants includes not only protection of pits and fissures against development of caries, but also sealant restorations, protection against erosion, and protection of cervical surfaces. Pitts (1991) also proposed use of interproximal sealants, though their placement may be difficult. Application of cured transparent dentine bonding materials is very useful where there is an erosive component in the caries aetiology
