Abstract

The morphology of pit and fissures of posterior teeth make them vulnerable to dental caries. To prevent occlusal caries we can apply pit and fissure sealant. There is widespread disagreement among professionals between invasively opening the fissure before sealant placement and non-invasive sealant application. One of the invasive techniques is Enameloplasty Sealant Technique(EST) or reshaping the enamel before.
