National Institute of Dental Research surveys indicate that the incidence of pit and fissure caries constitutes a higher proportion of the total caries incidence among U.S. teens and children than in the past. Air-abrasive technology may provide a more conservative alternative in the diagnosis and treatment of pit and fissure caries than traditional techniques using handpieces. The authors review characteristics of pit and fissure lesions and discuss methods for diagnosing and treating these lesions using air-abrasive technology.
美国国立牙科研究所的调查表明，与过去相比，窝沟龋在全美青少年和儿童龋齿总发病率中所占比例更高。与使用牙钻的传统技术相比，空气喷砂技术在窝沟龋的诊断和治疗中可能提供一种更保守的选择。作者回顾了窝沟病变的特征，并讨论了使用空气喷砂技术诊断和治疗这些病变的方法。
