A fissure sealant is a band 2 surface application where fissure sealant alone is used. It serves as a primary preventive treatment item.
This will be included in the count of restorations or extractions used to determine the band 2 sub‑band.
A sealant restoration is a filling where tooth tissue has been removed due to caries and restored with composite or glass ionomer and sealed with a fissure sealant.
Bitewing radiographs are usually considered a prerequisite to sealant restorations and diagnosis of treatment need.
As with any band 2 claim, an examination and completion of treatment necessary to secure the oral health of the patient which the patient is willing to undergo, is a requirement.
