    In recent years, Bisphenol A (BPA) and dental sealants have been a point of discussion for researchers, dental providers, and consumers. BPA can be found in saliva in detectable amounts (micrograms) after placement of dental sealants.[1] [2] [3] The Canadian Dental Association [4] and the American Dental Association [5] have issued statements on their websites regarding BPA in dental sealants.

    There are different types of sealant that don't contain BPA.
