UltraSeal XT hydro is a light-cured, radiopaque, fluoride-releasing composite sealant that penetrates into the deepest pits and fissures to give exceptional protection. The hydrophilic chemistry with its characteristic thixotropic nature chases moisture (that in hydrophobic sealants can cause sealant failure) deep into the pits and fissures on a microscopic level. Once there, the advanced adhesive technology securely bonds the sealant to the enamel, increasing marginal retention and reducing microleakage.

It is our intention to lead with transparency and accountability, to build relationships and trust with members of the community who have been left out of the historical narrative. Our goal is for the Springfield History Museum to offer a more inclusive representation of all the people who have both shaped and been shaped by Springfield and rural east Lane County. For these people to be empowered as stewards of their owns stories, and to entrust the Springfield History Museum with the preservation, documentation, interpretation and display of their stories through exhibits, archives and digital collections.

A: No, you do not. You just need to etch, apply UltraSeal XT hydro, then light cure. Please refer to instructions for use for complete procedure.

A: No, it is not. UltraSeal XT hydro is the result of combining advanced adhesive monomers with other proprietary chemistries. The adhesive monomers are what cause UltraSeal XT hydro to become a hydrophilic sealant.

ILLUMINATION invites us to discover more about our neighbors, our forebears, and perhaps a little more about ourselves along the way…

UltraSeal XT hydro’s chemistry provides the option of a visual verification for marginal retention with the use of a UV light, upon placement and at recall visits. The UV light is sold as a separate item.

We use interviews and photographs to share stories that illuminate the intersectionality of our Springfield identity. This year our skilled team includes Kunu Bearchum (Northern Cheyenne, Ho-Chunk), Princess Mason (Klamath, Western Shoshone) and Megan England (Siletz) who are working with the community to explore the American Indian and Alaska Native experience in the land we now call Springfield and rural east Lane County, Oregon. The team is supported by exhibit advisor Dr. David Lewis (Grand Ronde).This exhibit will open in December, 2024.

The Springfield History Museum is actively working to address representation in our collection. Museum institutions have historically used gatekeeping and erasure in collection practices. We are working to address this harm with projects and special exhibits like ILLUMINATION, that intentionally center the stories and experiences of those who have been historically marginalized and who are currently underrepresented in our collection.

UltraSeal XT hydro’s fluorescent properties make it fully viewable under a black light, which makes it easy to check for marginal retention at subsequent appointments.

"​Since I have such great success with Opalescence™ Boost and Opalescence PF I also ordered the UltraSeal XT hydro for our sealants. I was previously using [a competitor's sealant] and they would pop off within a few weeks at times and just sat on top of the tooth. While placing the UltraSeal XT hydro, you can literally see the sealant going into the pits and fissures! Day and night difference, and the use of the little light is a fun way to show the kids and parents and be able to check them at their six-month appointments!!!"

The culminating works from this project will all become part of the Springfield History Museum archive, available to the public. Selected images and narratives will also become part of the permanent heritage exhibit on display at the museum.

UltraSeal XT™ hydro incorporates the benefits of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic sealants into one unique chemistry. UltraSeal XT Hydro creates high bond strengths even in the presence of moisture eliminating the need for a drying agent so you can deliver the treatment even faster.

The land we call Springfield today is home to more than 60,000 people, all of whom have unique personal and ancestral stories that contribute to our collective history, and our rich, multicultural present.
