Brief summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was evaluate the performance of two conventional glass-ionomer cements in the pit and fissure sealing and atraumatic restorative treatment in high caries risk children.

Detailed description

Sealants were applied on sound permanent first molars by press finger technique and carious deciduous molars that required either class I or class II restorations were restored according to manufacturers' recommendations in order to caries prevention and control.
