One thought on “Are dental sealants really effective?

  1. I believe dental sealants are effective, depending on the placement. The only way the sealant is going to protect against occlusal caries, the tooth must be properly sealed and have no microleakage. If the sealant is correctly placed, it will then protect the patient from the caries process on that specific tooth.
