title: Sealant knowledge and use by pediatric dentists: 1987 Minnesota survey.
abstract: Sealants are safe, cost-effective, and easy to apply. All of the pediatric dentists surveyed in this study reported using sealants. Only 46 percent, however, applied sealants more than ten times per week. Sealant use was most often for the six- to fourteen-year-old age-group.
