What is a PRR restoration?
A. Dentists use preventive resin restorations, a combination of composites and sealants, to treat early caries found in the pits and fissures. A dentist would use this combination when the carious lesion extends into and beyond the enamel so that the use of sealants alone will not suffice. These restorations should only be placed in the non tress-bearing regions of the dentition. Use of preventive resin restorations is generally governed by the desire to treat small lesions conservatively.
