A Trial of Caries Prevention Effect of Fissure Sealants

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Fissure Sealant; Caries Prevention; Fluoride Concentration; Resin; Glass Ionomer Cement
• Interventions: Procedure: Fissure sealant application

• Registration Number: NCT02063815
• Lead Sponsor: Marmara University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to compare caries prevention of a conventional resin-based sealant and a glass-ionomer sealant placed on occlusal pits and fissures over a one year period in a high caries children group. Additionally the concentration of Fluoride in saliva was evaluated.
