Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical performance of pre-etched bioactive fissure sealants to conventional RBFS in permanent molars affected by MIH in terms of retention, marginal integrity, caries prevention effect, and sensitivity.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- year-old patients with at least one fully erupted first permanent molar (FPM) diagnosed with MIH defects (White, creamy, or yellow to brownish opacities greater than one millimetre) without posteruptive enamel breakdown or caries (ICDAS code 0 or 1).
- Non -contributory medical history
- Children must exhibit sufficient cooperation for treatment.
You may not qualify if:
- Medically compromised patient.- Partially erupted MIH first permanent molars that could not be sufficiently isolated.
- Carious molars.
- Restored MIH molars.
- Sealed MIH molars.
- MIH molars with extensive enamel breakdown that requires restoration.
- MIH molars planned for extraction (compensatory or balancing extraction) as part of elective extraction plan of MIH molars with poor long-term prognosis.
- Molars affected with other enamel defects ((e.g., amelogenesis imperfecta or fluorosis)
- Non-MIH affected molars.
- Parents did not consent for treatment.
- Child not sufficiently cooperative for treatment.
