The sealing of fissures in a school dental programme.

An examination was made of 817 children, mean age 6.9 years. Of their first permanent molars 42.4 per cent were assessed as suitable for fissure sealant. Of these teeth 522 were sealed and compared with contra-lateral controls after one year. The retention rate of and the mean application time for the sealant are presented and discussed.

Tooth loss in South Australia.

A survey of approximately 8,300 subjects in the State of South Australia indicated that approximately 228,400 South Australians aged 15 years and over (26%) were edentulous and, of these, 95% wore full maxillary and mandibular dentures. The proportion of edentulous subjects increased with age and was lower in males, upper socioeconomic groups, immigrants and in the State capital.

The treatment of first permanent molars in a school dental programme: implications for fissure sealants.

Analysis of data derived from the pattern of treatment for first permanent molars in New Zealand school children from fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas shows that occlusal surfaces became carious at a later age in the former and in such areas sealants could further reduce the need for occlusal restorations. Since occlusoproximal restorations are rare, retention of sealants for long periods is needed.
