Shofu Beautisealant Pit & Fissure Sealant - Refill

Description:

BeautiSealant is a fluoride-releasing pit and fissure sealant designed to protect teeth, especially during caries-prone years. This advanced sealant provides enhanced protection with sustained fluoride release and recharge, ensuring long-term dental health. Unlike conventional sealants, BeautiSealant eliminates the need for phosphoric acid etching, offering a safer, more predictable, and gentler approach to dental sealing.

Key Features & Advantages:

Gentle on Enamel:

• Conventional sealants typically require phosphoric acid etching, which can dehydrate and demineralize healthy tooth structure. BeautiSealant, on the other hand, uses a self-etch primer that contains dual adhesive monomers. This allows for effective bonding while minimizing damage to enamel.
• The HEMA-free formulation of the self-etch primer prevents hydrolysis at the bonding interface, ensuring long-term stability and retention of the sealant.

Effective Delivery:

• BeautiSealant features an efficient, non-drip syringe design with a 27-gauge needle tip that allows for precise delivery of the sealant into deep fissures and grooves without overfilling. This makes the application process clean and hassle-free, preventing the common issue of air bubbles or excessive material.

“Giomer Concept”:

• As part of the Giomer family of restorative materials, BeautiSealant utilizes Shofu’s proprietary S-PRG filler technology. This includes a stable glass ionomer phase within the sealant that releases and recharges fluoride.
• The trilaminar surface structure protects the glass core, ensuring the controlled release of fluoride over time, while maintaining the material's structural integrity.

Remarkable Adhesion:

• BeautiSealant’s self-etch primer provides an equally strong bond to enamel as traditional sealants, which rely on aggressive phosphoric acid etching. The adhesion is durable, ensuring a reliable seal that remains intact over time.
• The paste cures to a superior surface, providing a durable and long-lasting seal that offers high shear bond strength.

Fluoride Release and Anti-Plague Effect:

• Fluoride-Rich Environment: BeautiSealant continuously releases fluoride to help protect against tooth decay.
• Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Cariogenic Properties: The sealant creates an acid-buffering capacity that neutralizes harmful bacteria and helps prevent demineralization, while promoting remineralization of enamel.
• The inclusion of S-PRG fillers contributes to a unique anti-plaque effect, keeping the treated areas cleaner and healthier.

Indications:

• Pit and fissure sealant for preventing decay in areas prone to cavities, especially in children and adolescents.

Summary of Benefits:

1. No Acid Etching: Eliminates the need for phosphoric acid, protecting enamel from potential dehydration and damage.
2. Fluoride Release: The fluoride-rich formula protects against caries and supports enamel remineralization.
3. Efficient Application: The precision syringe and fine needle tip ensure a clean, bubble-free application, even in hard-to-reach fissures.
4. Durability: Provides long-lasting protection with strong bond retention and superior surface cure.
5. Anti-Plaque Effect: Helps to control plaque and bacteria buildup on the treated surface, improving oral health.

Conclusion:

BeautiSealant offers a gentler, more predictable alternative to conventional pit and fissure sealants, providing effective, long-lasting protection with the added benefit of fluoride release. It is an ideal solution for preventing tooth decay, especially in patients with deep grooves and fissures, while minimizing potential harm to the enamel structure. Its advanced formulation with S-PRG fillers offers unique anti-plaque, anti-cariogenic, and acid-buffering properties, making it an excellent choice for comprehensive cavity protection.
