Elastomer Sealant and Toothpaste Applicator Prevents Tooth Decay and Improves Oral Health Promotion

New evidence based approaches that are needed to help communities to reverse chronic diseases such as decay of acid demineralization where food is left on the teeth.

community should start lobbying for the development of better evidence based on the National Oral Health Promotion Project, and simply better low-cost preventative treatment as in 'healthier future for all Australians' recommendation to 86th

Over 80% of cavities occur inside pits and fissures where the brush, saliva, Recaldent and fluoride toothpaste, etc., can not come to ensure that exceeds remineralisation carbohydrates stimulated acid demineralization as well as easy to reach areas where few cavities occur.

Gaskets are over the occlusal surfaces of the block food is trapped inside the pits and fissures, stopping acid demineralization and caries process, but the seals are expensive and have a brief life of efficient, probably because they do not get access to the pits and fissures.

Photos seals after the teeth are dissolved in acid shows that the bites on the strip of elastomer seal may be forced deeper into the pits and fissures of the upper and lower teeth occluding at once, retaining the occlusion Sealing of saliva contamination, reduce chair time, cost and life expectancy sealants.

glass crack model replica of how the food is trapped under pressure from chewing, as the liquid easier to move from the solids and that the toothpaste does not have access to, a brush, but trapped toothpaste is difficult to move after a forced approach.

Also, the glass model shows how elastomeric strip can force the crack sealant and toothpaste between two glass squares and any solids, pastes, etc. there will be a barrier to block access to the pits and fissures on time.

chewing skills of young children are better than manual skills, and can force the elastomer strip of fluoride toothpaste in the pits and fissures, where brushing can not reach the remineralization similar to those surfaces where brushing is a simple approach.

This indicates that chewable fiber like celery after eating forces saliva in food in pits and fissures to dilute soluble carbohydrate, neutralize acids and remineralise demineralized tooth better than chewing gum, which does not absorb and expel saliva under pressure.

chewing the first bite of any meal or snack is forced into the deepest pits and fissures of the rest of the meal or snack suggests that chewing carbohydrate free food is first to reduce the acid demineralization and Oral Health promotion needs a better evidence base for improvement.

This is a clear indication that the new approach can reverse chronic diseases such as caries and communities need to start lobbying for the development of better evidence based on a national oral health promotion project.
