Prevention study for Dental Caries
Official title The Effect of an Adhesive System on the Retention and Caries Prevention for Fissure Sealants in Permanent Molars
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06608563
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Background: Resin-based fissure sealants (FS) are recommended to prevent pit-and-fissure caries development or prevent the progression of enamel caries lesion to frank cavitation into dentine. There is still limited clinical evidence on the use of adhesive system beneath fissure sealants in permanent molars and its effect on FS retention and caries progression.
