Dry-Shield vs Rubber Dam During Fissure Sealant Placement
Sponsor: Suez Canal University
Summary
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficiency of the Dry-Shield isolation system compared with rubber dam isolation and cotton roll isolation during fissure sealant application in permanent molars among pediatric patients. The study evaluates chairside time, patient preference, and fissure sealant retention rates after 6 and 12 months of follow-up. Proper isolation during fissure sealant application is considered essential for optimal retention and long-term clinical success. The study also aims to assess whether Dry-Shield can provide a practical and comfortable alternative to conventional isolation techniques in pediatric dentistry.
