Now that you have been introduced to sealants, let's begin to discuss the sealant procedure you will review next term.

Part I
Please list all of the items needed to set up for the sealant procedure. You have been provided with handouts and other information from your instructors. Therefore, the expectation is that you will be able to list in great detail all of the instruments, dental materials, and accessories (e.g., suctions and cotton rolls, etc.) needed to perform sealant application.

A. What group of instruments must you always have on the tray for every procedure, no matter what?
B. Will local anesthesia be needed for sealants? Yes or no, and why not?

Part II
List the steps needed to perform the sealant procedure. Note: You may answer this question in a way that would be easy for you to memorize the sealant procedure if you were sitting chairside right now. This will be you in approximately 12 weeks.
