1.	Dental Caries (White Spot) 01/01/1989 - "The preponderance of dental caries is located on the pit and fissure surfaces of teeth, an area where dental sealants are most effective in preventing this malady. " 01/01/2008 - "REVIEW: Although dental sealants are effective in reducing the risk of having dental decay, their rate of utilization among children and adolescents is below the objective set forth by the Healthy People 2010 document. " 08/26/2005 - "Dental sealants are effective in preventing dental caries in the occlusal (chewing) and other pitted and fissured surfaces of the teeth. " 01/01/1995 - "This utilization pattern for dental sealants would contribute to improved efficiency of sealant usage in the treatment of dental caries, particularly at a time when caries frequency is declining. " 03/01/2009 - "CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated a social gradient in the presence of fissure sealants, but no such gradient in dental caries levels. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Stomatognathic Diseases (Dental Disease) 06/10/1995 - "Other findings included more than half of children in Scotland and Northern Ireland having fissure sealants, improved parental knowledge about preventing dental disease, reduced numbers of orthodontic extractions and a reduction of one-third in the rate of traumatised permanent incisors. " 02/01/1996 - "The risk of dental disease can be reduced in children by encouraging appropriate diet and hygiene, avoidance of harmful bottle habits, optimal fluoride intake and application of dental sealants to permanent posterior teeth. " 01/01/2005 - "The contributions of dental hygiene as a discipline of prevention, the inception of systemic fluoride in community water systems, the continual research conducted by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), and the success of dental sealants have all contributed to the decrease in incidences of dental diseases. " 02/01/1987 - "Because dental disease preventive programs and regimens such as water fluoridation, topical fluorides, dental sealants, and oral hygiene regimens are available that have the potential to eliminate dental disease, effort should be made to increase the awareness of the children who can benefit from them."

4.	Periodontal Diseases (Periodontal Disease) 01/01/1992 - "The purpose of the study was to describe the prevalence of dental caries, dental sealants, and periodontal disease, as well as the need for restorative, exodontia, and periodontal treatment among schoolchildren. " 01/01/1996 - "The main goals of this program were to achieve good plaque control and subsequently prevent periodontal disease as well as to apply fissure sealants and fluorides in an attempt to prevent dental caries. " 06/01/2005 - "Preventing initiation of tobacco use by youths is as fundamental to the prevention of periodontal disease and oro-pharyngeal cancer as providing fluoride and dental sealants for the prevention of dental caries.
