A lingual pit on the lingual surface of a maxillary molar is at an increased risk for cavities, due to both increased biofilm retention and thinness of enamel forming the walls of the pit. Enamel sealants are recommended to be used on the lingual surfaces of erupting teeth, although sealants have been shown to not bond as easily on lingual surfaces as they do on the occlusal surfaces.
