Nonetheless, the DPR survey indicates awareness of sealants and their e ectiveness is markedly on the rise. In the 2009 survey, nearly three out of four respondents (73%) agreed even somewhat or more with the statement: “All pediatric patients should receive sealants.” In 2006, just 57% of respondents agreed with the same statement. This re ects a rise of 28%, a jump that’s noticeable, but not surprising to those educated about sealants. According to the AAPD, sealants are easy—they are applied quickly in a single comfortable visit. The practitioner dries and conditions the tooth, paints on the sealant, and allows the application to harden. Sealants are indicated for children whose teeth exhibit deep pits and ssures, a condition Dr. Margolis said is common to more than 90% of the rst and second permanent molars he sees in his practice, and to 25% of the primary molars. sani-treet At Enzyme Industries, we are concerned about the environmental impact our products have after EHLQJXVHGDQGÁXVKHGRXWRIWKHGHQWLVW VIDFLOLW\sani-treetGREEN utilizes new generation, ecologically IULHQGO\FOHDQLQJDJHQWVWKDWELRGHJUDGHTXLFNO\DQGHIÀFLHQWO\:KHQXVHGDVDQXOWUDVRQLFVROXWLRQ RUSUHVRDN\RXULQVWUXPHQWVZLOOEHFOHDQGRZQWRWKHEDUHPHWDOSULRUWRVWHULOL]DWLRQ(YDFXDWLRQ OLQHVDQGWUDSVZLOOEHFOHDQDQGRGRUIUHHZKHQXVHGGDLO\DVGLUHFWHG$QLQH[SHQVLYHsani-treet GREENSUHYHQWLYHPDLQWHQDQFHSURJUDPKHOSVHOLPLQDWHFRVWO\GRZQWLPHDQGH[SHQVLYHSOXPELQJ GREEN enzyme $YDLODEOHH[FOXVLYHO\WKURXJK'HQWDO'HDOHUV Call 1-888-236-9963 for a sample ELOOVZLWKRXWWKHXVHRIKDUVKFKHPLFDOV Multi-purpose Enzymatic Concentrate • • • • Evacuation System Cleaner Instrument Pre-Soak Lemongrass-Lavender Scent Compatible with Amalgam Separators • • • • Foam Fighting Ultrasonic Cleaner Biodegradable Non-toxic, non-caustic industries, inc.
