Clinical Evaluation of Preventive Effect of Fissure Sealants on Initial Carious Lesion of Permanent Mandibular Molars Pretreated with and without Fluoride Varnish by Fluorescence Camera (original) (raw)

Abstract

The important armamentarium in the present day scenario against caries prevention is considered to be a combination of preventive methods. The present study was conducted to evaluate the preventive effect of pit and fissure sealant pretreated with fluoride varnish on initial carious lesion by fluorescence camera (FC).
