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. " 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. "
