Cavity caps

Sealants prevent decay

WASHINGTON (AP) - A thin plastic coating over their teeth could prevent many youngsters from getting cavities and decay if more dentists used the method, says an expert panel. Plastic sealants, which could prevent decay and reduce dental costs, are greatly underused despite their great promise, a National Institutes of Health panel said Wednesday. The expert panel said many children could benefit from sealing some of their teeth to prevent food and bacteria from lodging in the pits and grooves, common areas of decay. “The placement of sealants is a highly effective means of preventing pit and fissure caries (decay),” said the group after two days of examining data on the procedure. The prevalence of tooth decay has been declining in children and adolescents in the United States and several industrialized countries because of water fluoridation and other methods of fluoride therapy, said the panel. “Expanding the use of sealants would substantially reduce the occurrence of dental caries in the population beyond that already achieved by fluorides and other preventive measures,” the group said in a draft statement.

Spread with half the chocolate ice cream, then half the coffee ice cream; sprinkle with half the butter crunch crumbs. Repeat layers. Cover tightly with foil; store in freezer. Several hours before serving, melt chocolate; cool. Whip cream until stiff; fold in chocolate. Remove cake from freezer; with a small metal spatula, loosen edges; carefully remove side band. Place on serving platter and frost with chocolate-flavored whipped cream. Return to freezer without wrapping; just before serving, let stand briefly at room temperature. Cut with carving knife, dipped in hot water before each cut. Makes 12 servings.

Dr. James W. Bawden, professor of dentistry at the University of North Carolina and chairman of the conference, said use of sealants is safe and painless. But he stressed that it is important to seal the teeth early, including temporary or socalled baby teeth whose decay could affect emerging permanent teeth. Susceptible teeth should be sealed as they emerge from the gums, he said, before cavities that require filling can develop. Sealants cannot be used over filings because the plastic won’t stick to them, he added. The panel said there were no good estimates of the average cost of tooth sealing, but Bawden said he has seen figures ranging from $8 to SIOO per tooth. Other experts said a

more typical range would be $4 to S2O per tooth. The sealing procedure is relatively simple, Bawden said. After identifying teeth that are vulnerable to future decay, the dentist etches the enamel with phosphoric acid to roughen the surface so the plastic will stick to it. Then the dentist applies a plastic resin that hardens on the surface. This hardening, or curing, takes about 20 to 30 seconds, depending upon the sealant used. Some harden with exposure to air, while others need exposure to ultraviolet or visible light from a hand-held light source. The greatest difficulty with the procedure is contamination by saliva or other moisture before the sealant hardens, Bawden said.
