Determination of lesion level by DIAGNOdent which provides a laser fluorescence feedback to give a numerical readout reflects the amount of demineraliztion.

Time frame: Change from baseline at 3,6, 9 months

Secondary Outcomes

Caries lesion activity assessment

Visual (change in Surface Appearance) - tactile ( change in Tactile Feeling of the surface by an explorer)

Time frame: Change from baseline at 3,6, 9 months
