Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of newly introduced bioactive resin based pits and fissure sealant versus fluoride releasing resin based pits and fissure sealant in initial carious lesions of fissures in posterior molars in patients at risk of caries. Visual tactile examination and VistaCAM will be used for evaluation.
