Chlorhexidine varnish has limited effectiveness on pit and fissure caries, where sealants have been shown to be effective, but may have promise in prevention of root caries in adults.

Prevention of root caries

Dental sealants are 100 percent effective in preventing pit and fissure caries as long as the sealants remain intact.[6] One year after placement, 92 to 96 percent of dental sealants are still intact.[7]
