Brief summary
The study was to monitor effectiveness of glass ionomer sealant and resin-based sealant in ICDAS, and to evaluat the correlation between ICDAS and DIAGNOdent over 24 months. Over 200 8-year-old children with at least 2 permanent molar with the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) scores 0-4 were placed glass ionomer sealant and resin-based sealant split-mouthed randomly, and examined with ICDAS and DIAGNOdent before sealents placement and 6, 12 and 24 months after.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in DIAGNOdent Score | Baseline, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months | The peak value of DIAGNOdent was recorded after repeating it 3 times in the baseline and 3 follow-ups |
| Change in Decayed Surfaces (DS) of Different Fissure Sealants | Baseline, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months | Count of DS in different ICDAS cut-off( including D1-6S, D1-2S, D3-6S, D4-6S and D5-6S) in the baseline and 6-month, 12-month and 24-month follow-up. |
| Change in Repaired Sealants by the baseline ICDAS | 6 months, 12 months and 24 months | Evaluation the numbers of tooth surface in which the fissure sealants were in the status partially retained or completely lost, and ICDAS score were increasing from the baseline to the 3 follow-ups. |
