Brief summary
The aim of the study is to clinically assess the effect of sandblasting prior to self-etch resin based sealant on its retention after one year follow up.

Inclusion criteria
* Patients who have existing pits and fissures that are anatomically deep and caries susceptible. * Stained pits and fissures with minimum decalcification of opacification and no softness at the base of the fissure (ICDAS 1 and 2).
Exclusion criteria
* An individual with no previous caries experience and well coalesced pits and fissures. * Partially erupted teeth. * Teeth with cavitation or caries of the dentin. * Teeth with dental fluorosis, Hypocalcification
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Retention rate | Change from baseline at 3, 6, 12 months | •Full retention (FR): the material was fully present on the occlusal surfaces •Partially lost (PL): the material was present, but as a result of either wear or loss of the material, part of a previously sealed pit or fissure, or both, was exposed. •Totally lost (TL): no trace of the material was detected on the surface. |
