What principles does a PRR combine?
The preventive approach of sealing susceptible pits and fissures with conservative cavity preparation of caries occurring on the same occlusal surface
What is the benefit of PRR?
Preserve non-carious enamel. Instead of traditional amalgam extension for prevention only the decayed areas are prepped
What material is usually used for a PRR?
Adhesive material usually composite then seal the entire occlusal surface
What are the classification systems for PRR?
Autopolymerizing PRR are types A, B, and C. Visible- light polymerized composite resin PRRs are Types 1, 2, and 3. In both systems A or 1 is the most conservative tooth preparation and C or 3 is more involved
What is Type 1?
Minimal preparation or widening of the pits and fissures sealant Incipient decay confined to enamel. This is considered a sealant application not a restorative technique
What is Type 2?
Prep extends to dentin. Resin used to fill prep and seal the tooth
What is type 3?
Prep similar to type 2: prep extends to dentin resin is used to fill the prep then a pit and fissure sealant is used to seal the tooth
