Study summary

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effect of diode laser pre-treatment on the retention and caries prevention of giomer-based fissure sealants in young adults aged 17-22 years. The study compares sealant application with and without diode laser conditioning on molars with ICDAS 0-2 fissures over a 12-month follow-up period. Primary outcome is sealant retention using Simonsen's criteria, while secondary outcome is caries prevention using modified USPHS criteria. The study hypothesizes that diode laser pre-treatment may improve sealant retention and enhance caries prevention by modifying enamel surface characteristics and improving sealant penetration.

Inclusion Criteria: * Young adult Patients Aged 17-22. * Good oral hygiene (plaque index score 0 or 1). * Absence of abnormal occlusion habits (e.g. bruxism, nail biting, tooth clenching and mouth breathing). * Patients approving to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * •Patients with known allergic or adverse reaction to the tested materials. * Systematic disease that may affect participation. * Xerostomic patients.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Loss of sealant's retention — 1 year
    Simonsen's criteria 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.
