Product Description
Aegis Pit and Fissure Sealant is a light-cured sealant that contains
the “smart material” amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) that
slowly releases calcium and phosphate ions, the basic building
blocks of teeth.
ACP is referred to as a “smart material” because it only releases
calcium and phosphate ions when the surrounding pH drops to a
level where it could start to dissolve the tooth. Once the calcium
phosphate is released, it acts to neutralize the acid and buffer the pH.
The ACP filler is resilient and flexible, creating a stronger and longer
lasting sealant.
Aegis Pit and Fissure Sealant can be used with any light-curing
device and offers the added convenience of dispensing through
syringe tips. Aegis’ controlled flowability keeps the sealant on the
tooth while completely filling the pits and fissures.
When properly maintained and placed, Aegis forms a chemical
and thermal barrier that can help keep patients free from carious
lesions on the occlusal surfaces. The new resin formula allows for
better flow and handling, and the sealant cures to an opaque film on
enamel.
A standard kit contains material for approximately 30 patients.
