Clinical Trial: Retention and Caries Prevention of Giomer Sealant With or Without Diode Laser Pre-treatment: A Randomized Controlled Trial

U.S., May 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07612540) titled 'Retention and Caries Prevention of Giomer Sealant With or Without Diode Laser Pre-treatment: A Randomized Controlled Trial' on May 21.

Brief 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 hyp...
