Sažetak

A technique of fissure sealing and efficacy of this procedure in clinical
practice are described and discussed. Current studies have pointed out to the preventive and therapeutic benefits of fissure sealing as well as to association between the resin retention and protection from occlusal caries. The procedure is very easy to perform, it is not time-consuming and, additionally, provides a very efficient protection from fissure caries for several years. The application of resin over an initial caries is also emphasized as an acceptable procedure, requiring, however, special caution in the determination of indication and careful control. As sealing appears to be the most efficient way of reducing caries in fissures, each efficacious preventive program should also include the procedure of occlusal tooth sealing.
