FİSSÜR ÖRTÜCÜLER VE KULLANIM ALANLARI

Fissür örtücüler, diş çürüklerini önlemek amacıyla dişlerdeki çukurcuk ve fissürlere uygulanan reçine esaslı materyallerdir. Fissür örtücülerin başarısı, mine yüzeyine bağlanma düzeylerine, çukurcuk ve fissürleri ağız ortamından izolasyon kapasitelerine bağlıdır. Fissürlerin dar enleri ve düzensiz derinlikleri, asit üreten bakterilerin birikmeleri için ideal bir ortamdır. Tükürüğün temizleme fonksiyonu, azı dişlerindeki çukurcuk ve fissürler için yetersiz kalır. Ayrıca, diş fırçasının kıl çapları da çoğu fissür yüzeyini temizlemek için çok büyüktür. Fissür örtücüler, bakteri plağında üretilen asitler için fiziksel bariyer görevi yaparlar. Geleneksel fissür örtücülerin uygulanması, çürük oluşma riskini kabul edilebilir düzeyde azaltırken, diş bütünlüğünü de koruyan non-invasiv bir tekniktir. Son zamanlarda koruyucu ve 1. basamak tedavilerin kullanımı oldukça azalmış ve diş hekimleri tarafından önemsenmemeye başlanmıştır. Çalışmamızın amacı fissür örtücülerinin öneminin daha iyi anlaşılması ve uygulama alanlarının net bir şekilde anlatılıp diş hekimleri tarafından kullanımının yaygınlaştırılmasıdır.
