Assess Individual Caries Risk (ICR) 2. Seal the 1st and 2nd permanent molarsin patients aged under 20 years who have a high ICR; if possible, use a resin-based sealant if tooth isolation is unsatisfactory 3. Monitor patients -a year if ICR is high2-4 times  - at least once a year if ICR is low 4. Maintain other caries prevention measures   

1. Assessing Individual Caries Risk (ICR)    one or more of the following risk factors have a high ICRPatients with ·No daily tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste  ·Regularly eating sugary snacks between mealtimes (sugar-containing foods, sugar- containing drinks, sweets) ·Long-term use of sugar-containing medicines or medicines causing hyposalivation ·Deep fissures 2 in the molars ·Plaque visible without applying a disclosing agent · Presence of caries (dentine affected) and/or early reversible lesions (enamel affected).      of these risk factors have a low ICRPatients with none

2. Sealing  

 

  Caries-free surfaces and enamel caries 

Isolation satisfactor

Apply a resin-based sealant 

1.

2.

3.

4.

Clean (dry brush or air polishing)

Etch with 35-37% orthophosphoric acid for at least 15 sec, then wash for 15 sec and dry

Apply resin-based sealant

Check sealant retention using a probe

Isolate the toothwith a dental dam (or cotton wool rolls and suitable aspiration)

Isolation unsatisfactory  

Apply glass ionomer  sealant    

Apply fluoride varnish

Isolation not possible  

Postpone sealing and insist on other preventive measures 

Reassess ICR after 3 months

ICR still high

Apply a resin-based sealant (unless previously-appliedglassionomer sealant is still intact)   (isolation now satisfactory)

Questionable carious lesions  Open fissures and use an aedhesive system and restoration material. Fissure sealing is no longer an option .  

3. Monitoring              

Check integrity of sealantand repair if necessary Reassess ICR
