3M ESPE Clinpro Pit & Fissure Sealant

3M ESPE Clinpro Sealant

3M™ ESPE™ Clinpro™ Sealant is a light-cure, low viscosity, fluoride-releasing pit and fissure sealant with a unique patented color change feature.

Clinpro™ sealant is pink when applied to the tooth surface, and changes to an opaque off-white color when exposed to light. The pink color helps the dental professional with the accuracy and amount of material placed during the sealant procedure.

• Colour-change technology to visualize placement.
• Contains and releases fluoride.
• Long-lasting protection against caries.

FEATURES:- 

Color change technology for ease of use :

• Convenient direct delivery syringe for easy application.
• Low viscosity to flow easily into pit and fissures.
• Bonds to the enamel.

INDICATIONS:-

Early prevention of caries in enamel pit and fissures

• Studies have shown that dental sealants can play a significant role in reducing dental decay¹. Another study showed that with the help of fissure sealants dental decay can be reduced in high risk young children²

DIRECTIONS:-

Clinpro™ Sealant – step by step 

• Select the tooth to be treated (it must be sufficiently erupted).
• Clean the enamel (mechanical or with air polish), remove plaque and debris, and rinse with water. Do not use a cleaning medium containing oil or sodium bicarbonate.
• Isolate and dry the tooth, ideally with a rubber dam. Cotton rolls with isolation shields are also appropriate.
• Etch the enamel for a minimum of 15 seconds and a maximum of 60 seconds.
• Rinse the enamel thoroughly with water.
• Air-dry the enamel thoroughly: the dry, etched surfaces should be matte white.
• With the syringe needle, slowly inject Clinpro™ Sealant into the pits and fissures.
• Cure Clinpro™ Sealant by exposing it to light for 20 seconds. The lamp should be placed as close to the sealant as possible without actually touching it.
• When Clinpro™ Sealant is set, it forms a hard, opaque film in a light yellowish tooth shade.
• Evaluate the results: the sealant film should cover the tooth completely without any gaps.
• Wipe off any sticky residue with cotton wool. Check the occlusion and adjust if necessary.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:-

For perfect results :

• The teeth must be sufficiently erupted so that a dry zone can be created and maintained. The pits and fissures should be deep.
• The change in color is not an indicator of completed curing. The recommended duration of light-curing (20 seconds) must be respected.
