title: Insurance reimbursement for sealants in 1986: report of a survey.
abstract: Lack of reimbursement for pit and fissure sealants by third-party payers is frequently cited as a major barrier to increased use by dental practitioners. An increase in insurance coverage for sealants since January, 1984 may facilitate practitioners' use of the procedure, ultimately improving the public's oral health.
