Study Arms (2)

Pre-heating of flowable resin composite .

EXPERIMENTAL

(Filtek™ Z350Xt Flowable Restorative, 3M ESPSE, USA)

Other: Pre-heating of flowable resin composite used as a pit and fissure sealant.

Conventional resin fissure sealant

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

(total etch), (UltraSeal XT®, Ultradent, USA)

Other: Conventional resin fissure sealant

Interventions

The occlusal fissures will be etched with a 37% phosphoric acid gel for 30 s. After rinsing the enamel with water for 30 s the enamel will be dried for 15 s with compressed air. After completing the fissure preparations a single coat of adhesive (3M ESPE ADPER ,USA) will be applied to the etched surface ,dried under gentle air flow for 2- 3 s and light cured for 20 s using a LED light curing unit with a 1000 mw output .Conventional resin fissure sealant (total etch), (UltraSeal XT®, Ultradent, USA) will be applied to the etched pits and fissures. After removing the rubber dam the occlusion will be checked the sealant will be adjusted with a composite finishing bur and polished with polishing points.

Eligibility Criteria

Age16 Years - 22 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • participant:
  • Young adults (16\_22y)
  • Patients who have existing pits and fissures that are anatomically deep and caries susceptible.
  • Teeth
  • Permanent molars teeth without any caries and cavitation. (Azarpazhooh \& Main 2008)
  • Permanent molar teeth that have deep pit and fissure morphology, with "sticky" fissures.
  • Permanent molar teeth with stained grooves.
  • Stained pits and fissures with minimum decalcification of opacification and no softness at the base of the fissure (ICDAS 1 and 2).

You may not qualify if:

  • participant:
  • Uncooperative behavior, limits the use of sealants due to hampering of adequate field or isolation techniques throughout the procedure.
  • Patients allergic to sealant material.
  • Patient with history of medical disease, drug therapies or any other serious relevant problem.
  • Teeth:
  • An individual with no previous caries experience and well coalesced pits and fissures
  • Partially erupted teeth.
  • Teeth with cavitation or caries of the dentin.
  • A large restoration is present on occlusal surface.
  • If pits and fissures are self-cleansable.
  • Teeth with dental fluorosis, hypocalcification or hypercalcification
