Children's Dental Sealant (BPA-Based Bis-GMA Resin) — child safety profile
High riskResin-based pit-and-fissure sealants applied to children's permanent molars (typically ages 6-14) to prevent cavities.
What is this product?
Resin-based pit-and-fissure sealants applied to children's permanent molars (typically ages 6-14) to prevent cavities. Most contain Bis-GMA (bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate), which can leach BPA during the first 24 hours after placement and during ongoing wear. BPA is a potent endocrine disruptor linked to neurodevelopmental effects, early puberty, and metabolic disruption. Sealants also release Bis-DMA and BPA from saliva-mediated hydrolysis over months. Applied directly on tooth surfaces where saliva continuously contacts the material.
