- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The percentage of people in whom fissure sealant retention is increased by the use of sodium hypochlorite. Timepoint: Measurement of fissure sealant retention rate six months after treatment. Method of measurement: After 6 months, all 34 people will be contacted in order of fissure sealant time and in the pediatric ward of the faculty will be checked by 2 pediatric dentists. The reliability of the examiners will be calculated using Cohen's Kappa statistical coefficient. Each fissure sealant will be evaluated independently using a mirror and a slow catheter after 6 months by 2 calibrated researchers, who were not involved in the treatment process. If there is a disagreement between the two researchers during the evaluation period, after discussion, an agreement will be reached. If the treatment fails, the tooth will be re-treated. The examination technique will be visual observation and clinical evaluation.
