Summary
Study was aimed to evaluate and compare clinical efficacy of the Microfilled resin sealant,
Nanofilled resin sealant, Flowable composite as sealant, with Unfilled resin sealant on first
permanent molar in children at 9 months follow ups.
Children (age 7 to 10) with deep pits and fissures, (ICDAS 0-2) included in the study and
study was Split mouth randomized controlled clinical trial.
Sample size- Total number of 42 patients will be recruited in the study, with 42 first
permanent molars in each group.
Methods-Patients were seated in supine position on the dental chair and cotton rolls will be
applied for isolation. The first permanent molar in each group was treated as follows:
Group 1 -Intervention with Microfilled resin sealant. Group 2- ¬Intervention with Nanofilled
resin sealant. Group 3 -Intervention with Flowable composite as sealant. Group 4 -
¬Intervention with Unfilled resin sealant. Patients and their parents were received
instructions for daily brushing and oral hygiene maintenance. Sealant clinical efficacy was
evaluated at 3, 6 and 9 month recall visit.
OUTCOME MEASURES:
1. Primary outcomes: To evaluate sealant retention, anticaries effect and marginal
integration.
2. Secondary outcomes: to evaluate, colour change and surface roughness of sealant.
