Purpose of the articleto carry out an epidemiological study on the use of sealing as a method of preventing dental caries and to assess the tightness and integrity over time of composite resins used to seal pits and fissures using the VistaCam iX intraoral fluorescence camera. Based on the premise that dentists do not have enough confidence in sealing pits and fissures as a method of preventing dental caries, we assessed if sealing is used in current practice as a prevention metod of tooth decay, and we measured, with high performance intraoral camera such as the VistaCam iX device, the tightness and integrity of composite resin seals.
