1.4.1 Chemical properties
Most fissure sealants on the market are filled or unfilled, one- or two-component materials.
Most of them contain methacrylate, e.g. bis-GMA, as the resin base. In addition to resin based
sealants, glass-ionomer cements are also used for fissure sealing. There are fissure
sealants with or without fluoride release and self- or light-cured ones. Self-curing (chemically
curing) fissure sealants incorporate a catalyst, usually benzoyl peroxide, which initiates
polymerization. Light-curing sealants are polymerized with the help of an appropriate light
source. The polymerization of these sealants is also initiated by a catalyst (e.g.
camphorquinone), which absorbs light of a specified wavelength.
Most fissure sealants – including the Helioseal products – are light-cured. Generally, the
tooth structure has to be conditioned with etching gel prior to applying the sealant.
We have discs of each implant material available. If you would like to be tested for compatibility, with the materials that you are considering, we can provide you with a sample disc of the material. You can bring this sample to your health care provider to test your bodies response to the material. We want to thank Straumann for providing us with the composition for their metal and ceramic implants.
