Brief summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to compare caries prevention of a conventional resin-based sealant and a glass-ionomer sealant placed on occlusal pits and fissures over a one year period in a high caries children group. Additionally the concentration of Fluoride in saliva was evaluated.
