Embrace WetBond Pit & Fissure Sealant, an ionic resin from Pulpdent

This material is unique, it not only contains a small amount of water, but it works well when mixed with water. Discovered by accident, the Embrace resin undergoes ionization, the breaking up of a compound into its ionic components. The hydrogen in the phosphate acid group is replaced by calcium that is present in tooth structure. As the material works, the resin and moisture adhere to the tooth structure, creating a very positive seal against leakage. In the presence of moisture, the uncured material is acidic and simultaneously ionizes, etches and adheres to tooth structure. There is a chemical fusion of Embrace WetBond Pit & Fissure Sealant material to the tooth structure, making it unlike any other resin or sealant material before it. The resin is also antibacterial, creating a 4mm inhibition zone around it. Listen to Dr. John Comisi describe the underlying science and research behind Embrace Pit & Fissure Sealant in this video.
