A Knockout Product – Champ™ Pit and Fissure Sealant

Sealants are one of the most-recommended, yet most under-used treatments to prevent tooth decay. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states, “Only about 20% of children at poverty level and only 40% of kids from higher-income homes actually receive recommended sealants.”¹

According to a study by researchers at Temple University, less than 40% of dentists actually follow the recommendations of the ADA which says that coating the occlusal surfaces of 6-year molars with a resin-based sealant can reduce cavities by up to 80%… immediately!²

Those numbers are staggering.

And, there has been a lot of debate over the need, and use of, dental sealants in recent years. Concerns over controversial estrogen-like Bisphenol A, or BPA, found in many sealants gives dentists and parents pause.

Champ™ Pit and Fissure Sealant to the rescue!

Our Champ sealant does NOT contain BPA, Bis-GMA or Bis-DMA. Champ is a bioactive light-activated, pit and fissure sealant that does not require a bonding agent. Champ utilizes a moisture-tolerant chemistry that seals out micro-leakage for a long-lasting sealant.

The Champ packaging is also unique; a convenient single-dose LolliPack^® eliminates the need for time-consuming infection control procedures, and is easier to use than syringe-delivered sealants! Each application contains one 0.25 mL dose of Champ sealant and one Benda® Brush applicator.

Simply etch, rinse, apply and cure. No bonding agent needed, and our unique moisture-friendly chemistry tightly seals margins, eliminating pitting, chipping and staining.

Gordon J. Christensen, of Clinicians Report says that sealants done properly are “an excellent technique” for combating decay.³

What could be easier than a single-dose, brush-on sealant application? We’re betting on Champ for the win!
