sealant, enamel,
n a resinous material designed for application to the occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth to seal the surface irregularities and prevent the carious process. Older term: pit and fissure sealant. sealant, fluoride-releasing, n a type of sealant that contains fluoride for the purpose of resisting the development of caries in the tooth to which it is applied. sealant, therapeutic, n See sealant, enamel. sealant, unfilled, n a resin-based sealant that does not contain particles (as opposed to a filled sealant, which contains additional filler particles). It is less viscous and less resistant to water than a filled sealant and thus fills a fissure more effectively. Unfilled sealants typically do not require additional occlusional adjustments.
