Utilization of Pit and Fissure Sealants by Parental Education: A Systemic Review
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
This article discusses the oral health status of children in the United States, including sealant prevalence, and reasons why sealants are underutilized, including current reimbursement levels. The article also explains similarities and differences between sealant use in private practice versus public health settings, as well as the effectiveness and economic aspects of school-based sealant programs. Finally, the article briefly discusses factors related to parents’ inclination to obtain sealants for their children. Development of a health communication message, to address the concerns of parents can greatly influence the utilization of sealants and reduce the overall untreated cavities in children.
