Sealant material should not be stored in proximity to which type of products?

Sealant material should not be stored in proximity to eugenol-containing products because eugenol can interfere with the sealant's chemical properties and weaken its bond. Eugenol is often found in certain dental products used for temporary cementation or as a soothing agent in various dental procedures. When exposed to eugenol, the composition of the sealant may break down or fail to adhere properly to the tooth surface, potentially compromising the effectiveness of the sealant and leading to future dental issues.

Maintaining proper storage conditions by keeping sealants away from eugenol helps ensure their integrity and longevity. Other types of products, such as fluoride-containing or water-containing products, while important in dental practice, do not typically pose the same risk of chemical interference with sealant materials.
