Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Retention rate | Change from baseline at 3, 6, 12 months | * Full retention (FR): The material is fully present on the occlusal surfaces * Partially lost (PL): The material is present, but as a result of either wear or loss of the material, part of the previously sealed fissure, was exposed. * Totally lost (TL): No trace of the material to be detected on the surface |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Caries formation | Change from baseline at 3, 6, 12 months | Decayed: If the explorer caught on the tooth after insertion into the fissures |
