Geological Survey on May 14, 2018, the eruption of lava continues from multiple points along the northeast end of the active fissure system. This eruption is still evolving, and additional outbreaks of lava are possible.

It added that though the eruption had paused early Tuesday, gas continues to emanate from a fissure system that is now 2.5 miles (four kilometers) long -- and more seismic activity and lava flow was expected.

Code 1 was selected if a tiny, thin red shimmer in the pits and fissure system is observed, which can slightly come up the slopes (walls) of the fissure system.

This test showed that use of etch and Prime and Bond[R] was significantly more likely to result in placement of a FS which remained covering more of the pit and fissure system over a 12 month period than use of Xeno[R] III for enamel preparation.

Most significant is the fissure system of complementary directions NNE-SSW and ESE-WNW, which also shapes outer form of the Brana outcrop (Fig.

(6-9) This finding might, in part, be ascribed to the presence of remnants of glass-ionomer observed in the deeper parts of pits and fissure systems, (10) preventing stagnation of cariogenic plaque in difficult-to-clean deep pits and fissures due to the excellent adhesion of glass-ionomers to enamel and the fact that the material fractures internally rather than at the enamel-sealant interface.

(15,34) This could be attributed to the deep narrow fissure systems selected for this trial which might result in an entrapment of air voids under relatively thick RMGI, hence reducing the strength of adhesive joints.
