Aegis® Pit & Fissure Sealant with ACP - Pit & Fissure Sealant
Aegis® Pit & Fissure Sealant - A revolutionary product that contains ACP!
Aegis® Pit and Fissure Sealant is a light-cured sealant that contains the “smart material” Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP). The ACP filler is resilient and flexible, creating a stronger and longer lasting sealant. Aegis P&F 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 and can be placed on the buccal. 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. Sealant cures to an opaque film on enamel. Standard kit contains material for approximately 30 patients.
Product Review
Aegis® Pit & Fissure Sealant was evaluated in the October 2008 issue of the ADA Professional Product Review, a publication of the American Dental Association’s Council on Scientific Affairs. Learn more here.
*Aegis® products contain the “smart material” Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP). ACP slowly releases calcium and phosphate ions, the basic building blocks of teeth. In scientific testing ACP has demonstrated the ability to remineralize tooth structure by enhancing the tooth’s natural repair mechanism. ACP is referred to as a “smart material” because it only releases calcium and phosphate ions when the pH drops to 5.9. Once the calcium phosphate is released, it will act to neutralize the acid and buffer the pH. ACP acts as a reinforcement to the tooth’s natural defense system only when it’s needed. A simple swish of water will bring the pH back to a neutral 7.4.
