The peaks and dimples on the chewing surfaces of molars form a series of fissures. These deep fissures are difficult to clean and create non-self-cleaning surfaces where tooth decay often begins.
Fissure sealing is a simple and painless preventive treatment that seals these fissures with a tooth-colored, aesthetic material, effectively preventing future tooth decay. Importantly, no dental material is removed during this procedure.
The treatment creates a uniform, smooth surface on the chewing area, making it less prone to plaque and bacteria buildup.
Extended fissure closure is recommended when caries has already penetrated deep into the fissures of a tooth. In such cases, the cavity is carefully prepared by drilling a small hole on the surface of the tooth before sealing it. The treatment then proceeds as with standard fissure closure.
Fissure sealing is best performed after teeth have fully erupted. By opting for this simple and gentle procedure, you can prevent future unpleasant and costly dental interventions for your child. At the Terenyi Clinic, fissure closure is quick and efficient, taking approximately 15 minutes.
The Material of Dental Fillings
In all cases, we use aesthetic, composite, light-curing fillings. At our clinic, we work with the most modern, high-quality Japanese materials, including Tokuyama and Gradia GC.
Types of Dental Fillings
Dental fillings can be categorized based on their size and location into cervical fillings, single-surface fillings, or multi-surface fillings.
Based on the material used, the following types of inlays can be distinguished:
A dental inlay is a prosthetic restoration made by a dental technician to restore a tooth. It is bonded into the cavity of a properly prepared tooth.

Depending on the extent of the restoration, we distinguish between inlay, onlay, and overlay.
