Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Retention rate [Change from baseline at 3, 6, 12 months]
Full retention (FR): The material is fully present on the occlusal surfaces Partially lost (PL): The material is present, but as a result of either wear or loss of the material, part of the previously sealed fissure, was exposed. Totally lost (TL): No trace of the material to be detected on the surface
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Caries formation [Change from baseline at 3, 6, 12 months]
Decayed: If the explorer caught on the tooth after insertion into the fissures
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Patients who have existing pits and fissures that are anatomically deep and caries susceptible.

-
Cooperative patients who will allow the clinical applications
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Uncooperative behaviour limiting the use of sealants throughout the procedure.
-
Patients with history of medical diseases, drug therapies or any other serious relevant problem.
-
Patients with well coalesced pits and fissures
-
Patients allergic to sealant material
-
Patients who underwent orthodontic treatment.
