- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Reduction of the caries progression, reducing the prevalence of dental caries in children and young people by applying a resin infiltrant as alternative to pit and fissure sealants in comparison to a conventional pit-and-fissure sealant applied in the contralateral teeth, analyzed by means of caries detection using laser fluorescence method, caries detection using radiographic analysis, and sealant marginal integrity, clinically validating its effectiveness by comparing the results after immediate application (baseline), and after 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years of the application.;Reduction of the caries progression by means of the qualitative analyses performed in order to complement the results by means of digital photographs and morphological analysis of the occlusal surfaces of teeth that received the application of both sealing materials using scanning electron microscope, performed according to the different evaluation times: baseline (immediately after application), after 1, 2, and 3 years.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secundary outcomes are not expected.
