Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to assess the clinical and antibacterial effectiveness of resin infiltrate versus Compomer as a pit and fissure sealant. Materials and methods: This in-vivo study was carried out on two hundred, young permanent molars of children ranging from six to twelve years of age. The teeth were equally divided into two groups (100 teeth each), based on the sealant material used in sealing the deep pits and fissures. Result: There was significance difference between the antibacterial effect of the Resin infiltration (ICON) and Compomer while there was significant difference between the clinical retention of Resin infiltration (ICON) and Compomer.
