Patient related criteria:
1) Cooperative Children aged from 5 to 12
Teeth related criteria:
1) first or second primary molars or primary canine (upper and lower) in the final process of exfoliation
2) extraction indicated for orthodontic treatment
3) teeth selected to be extracted because of physiological root resorption
Uncooperative children, children with mental and/or physical disorders; teeth suffer from frank cavitated proximal caries (e.g. The absence of a marginal ridge), developmental defects, cavitation, hypoplasia. A large carious cavity on occlusal or smooth surfaces, absence of the adjacent tooth
Teeth with occlusal restorations, fissure sealants or fissures with brownish pigments. lack of a contact point
