Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Dental Fissures:

1.	Pit and Fissure Sealants (Dental Sealants)IBA 04/01/1997 - "Dental sealants have proved to be highly effective in preventing pit and fissure dental caries. "
2.	ChlorhexidineIBA 01/01/1993 - "The aim of this study was to determine the effects of one and two applications of 40% chlorhexidine varnish on the numbers of mutants streptococci in human dental fissure plaques from molar and premolar teeth. " 12/01/1989 - "This study describes the effects of varnishes containing 0%, 10%, 20%, or 40% chlorhexidine diacetate on the microflora of human fissure dental plaque. " 01/01/1996 - "Effect of chlorhexidine varnish on Actinomyces naeslundii genospecies in plaque from dental fissures."
3.	FluoridesIBA 01/01/1998 - "This study assessed the cost effectiveness of a three-year school-based pit and fissure dental sealant and fluoride mouthrinsing program in two nonfluoridated regions in Victoria, Australia. " 02/01/2016 - "This in vitro investigation was to evaluate the fluoride release and recharge abilities of three recently introduced dental fissure sealants (FS). " 01/01/1998 - "Economic evaluation of a pit and fissure dental sealant and fluoride mouthrinsing program in two nonfluoridated regions of Victoria, Australia." 01/01/1998 - "The analysis was based on a community intervention in five schools comparing an intervention group receiving the pit and fissure dental sealant, a weekly fluoride mouthrinsing, and an annual oral hygiene education session, with a control group receiving oral hygiene education only. "
4.	SteamIBA 04/01/2009 - "The purpose was to analyze the effects of three sterilization methods (dry heat sterilization, steam sterilization, and chemical sterilization) on the corrosion of dental fissure bur. " 12/01/2007 - "The purpose was to analyze the effects of three sterilization methods (dry heat sterilization, steam sterilization, chemical sterilization) on the corrosion of dental fissure burs. "
5.	Dental Implants (Dental Implant)IBA 01/01/2021 - "Autotransplantation is a predictable treatment alternative to dental implants, being above all an option indicated to replace teeth with dental fissures or vertical root fractures or poor restorative and/or endodontic prognosis. "
6.	Surface-Active Agents (Surfactants)IBA 01/01/1990 - "It is suggested that the optimal effect obtained with decanoate was due to a favourable combination of the surfactant and wetting properties of this molecule at the low pH values found in fissure dental plaque. "
7.	MercuryIBA 01/01/2016 - "The percentage of appropriate answers to the key questions on each topic was 5% for colorectal cancer screening (7/140), 23.8% for glaucoma screening (25/105), 33.9% for trisomy 21 screening (121/357), 27.5% for the sealing of dental fissures (28/102), 16.2% for professional dental cleaning (19/117), and 12.9% for mercury detoxification (12/93). " 01/01/2016 - "From March 2013 to January 2014, four hidden clients seeking information asked standardized questions about three medical topics (screening for colorectal cancer, for glaucoma, and for trisomy 21) and three dental ones (the sealing of dental fissures, professional dental cleaning, and mercury detoxification). "
8.	CausticsIBA 04/01/2009 - "In regards of the corrosive effect, the dry heat sterilization might be the best way to sterilize the dental fissure burs."
