Applying sealant to patients.

Please used the four articles that will be attached. In this paper I need to write my learning experience on a dental clinic for kids ( Pediatric Dentistry) and explain what was the procedure that call my attention during my rotation in the clinic. I choose applying sealant to patients. I attached four articles related to the experience , please write a Discussion paper using articles attach related to the topic that I chose. Please include the citation within the written assignments.

REVIEW ANALYSIS & EVALUATION
CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES
PROPOSED THE USE OF PIT AND
FISSURE SEALANTS TO PREVENT AND
ARREST NONCAVITATED CARIOUS LESIONS
REVIEWER
CHRIS DEERY
The authors produced a clinical practice guideline based on a systematic review of clinical studies on the effectiveness of pit
and fissure sealants (sealants) to prevent caries and stop the progression of noncavitated caries in the occlusal surface of
primary and permanent molars. They also examined the evidence comparing the ability of sealants or fluoride varnish to
prevent caries and stop the progression of noncavitated caries in the occlusal surface of primary and permanent molars. In
addition, they examined the superiority of one sealant material over another.

SUMMARY
Selection Criteria
This article summarizes the systematic review that the practice guidelines
are based on; details are published elsewhere, Wright et al.1 The systematic
review included parallel and split-mouth randomized controlled trials with
at least 2 years of follow-up, reporting the effectiveness of pit and fissure
sealants on the occlusal surface of primary and permanent teeth. Trials
were identified using MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, LILACS, the
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and registers of ongoing
trials. Teams of 2 reviewers independently screened the titles and abstracts
of the initial 2869 articles identified. Following this, 2 reviewers again
screened 426 full-length articles, of which 24 met the inclusion criteria
(23 trials).
Key Study Factor
The key study factor was the effectiveness of sealants at preventing caries initiation
or progression in the occlusal surface of molars. Types of sealants were
classified as resin-based, glass ionomer cements, polyacid-modified resin sealants,
and resin-modified glass ionomer sealants.
The authors used the AGREE (Appraisal of Guidelines, Research and Evaluation)
reporting checklist to guide the reporting of the guideline development.2 The
