unknown]: Miami Valley Hospital, Greater Cincinnati

Oral Health Council, Arizona Department of Health.

2 videotapes.

Volume 1 of this two-volume videotape set for dental

practitioners features two presenters at the National

Public Health Dental Sealant Conference. Dr. Stephen

Corbin outlines the recommendations on guidelines for

sealant use (which resulted from a community-based

programs workshop) and addresses community program considerations and objectives, program evaluations, and determination of sealant candidates and

populations. Dr. Chester Summers, an oral epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention, discusses how to prevent transmission of

disease in dental sealant programs in field settings and

other portable dental care environments. In the first

segment of volume 2, Dr. Richard Simonsen explains

the characteristics of pit and fissure sealant materials

and the critical aspects of sealant application techniques. The second segment focuses on three dental

sealant programs and their adaptation of sealant application techniques to public health settings.
