About this trial

This clinical study is planned to be conducted to compare retention rates of pits and fissure sealants on non carious (ICDAS score 0) vs Initial carious enamel lesions (ICDAS Score 1,2) in posterior permeant teeth at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months follow-up. This will help us guide follow-up strategies for optimal caries prevention.
