5.1 Effective Program Operations
 To be effective, school-based dental sealant programs must
- Provide high-quality sealants with good retention rates.
- Serve children at higher risk for dental caries.
- Apply sealants efficiently, so that as many children as possible receive sealants.
In addition, most effective programs have the support of key constituencies in their communities (e.g., school administrators, school nurses, dentists). Seal America: The Prevention Invention (2nd ed.) provides useful information on how to obtain such support.
