Interventions
Twenty molars in eight cooperative healthy children were randomly allocated into two groups using a simple randomization process. In both groups, teeth were anesthetized and isolated with a rubber dam
consequently, polishing was performed using silicone polishers.
The participants were asked to attend follow-up examination, and were clinically evaluated at 3 and 6 months post-treatment and were ev
