Dental Sealants: A Resource Guide describes materials such as brochures, fact sheets, guidelines, curricula, and reports published from 2011 through 2016. Topics include data and surveillance; policy; professional education, tools, and training; public education; and state and local programs. Information about federal agencies, national professional associations, and resource centers that may serve as resources are also included.
Dental sealants have been used to reduce the incidence and severity of dental caries in the pits and fissures of teeth for over 40 years. Dental sealants placed by appropriately trained oral health professionals are safe and effective, although underused, in preventing pit-and-fissure dental caries on at-risk tooth surfaces. To assist in this effort, OHRC produced Dental Sealants: A Resource Guide (4th ed.) to provide information to health professionals, program administrators, educators, policymakers, and others about the use and application of dental sealants. The first section describes materials, such as brochures, fact sheets, guidelines, curricula, and reports published from 2011 through 2016. The second section lists federal agencies, national professional associations, and resource centers that may serve as resources. And the third section lists materials on dental sealants produced by OHRC. Your state and local departments of health, state and local oral-health-related associations and societies, and university-based libraries are additional sources of information.
We are grateful to the following individuals for their review and contributions to the resource guide. Matt Crespin, Children’s Health Alliance of Wisconsin, and Kathy Geurink, Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors. And we would like to thank those who submitted items for inclusion in the guide.
As you develop materials or identify materials produced by others, please share these resources with OHRC. We will update the resource guide periodically, and we would appreciate receiving your contributions.
