Overview
Brief Summary
This study will compare the performance of newly introduced bioactive resin based pits and fissure sealant versus fluoride releasing filled resin based pits and fissure sealant in posterior molars prone to carious lesions of fissures in patients at risk of caries. Visual tactile examination and VistaCAM will be used for evaluation.
Detailed Description
New bioactive resin pits and fissures sealant BioCoat® by Premier® presenting SmartCap™ Technology involving semi-permeable resin microcapsules. The rechargeable SmartCap microcapsules are filled with ionic solutions of fluoride, calcium and phosphate, supposing greater fluoride uptake in the presence of calcium and phosphate ions. With no enough evidence based information in literature about using bioactive fissure sealants in susceptible fissures , it isd beneficial to evaluate the newly introduced material using a randomized clinical trial to test the null hypothesis that bioactive resin pit and fissure sealant will have the same clinical performance as flouride releasing filled resin based pit and fissure sealant in susceptible fissures.
