The aim of the present study is determine the cost-effectiveness, clinical-effectiveness, acceptability and adverse effect of resin sealants versus the fluoride varnish for the prevention of dental caries on newly erupted permanent molars.
A Cochrane systematic reviews found low quality evidence supporting Current practice guidelines that recommend the use of Resin based fissure sealant over Fluoride varnish in prevent dental caries. However, they did not address the cost-effectiveness, A more recent systematic review and meta-analysis concluded that no statistical significance difference between Resin based fissure sealant and Fluoride varnish with a high-quality evidence in prevent dental caries. This trial will measure cost effectiveness and clinical effectiveness for resin fissure sealant and fluoride varnish.

5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish is a fluoride varnish which is applied to tooth surfaces for sealing dentinal tubules and treatment of hypersensitive teeth. The varnish is applied in a thin layer over the tooth with an applicator brush, and moisture from saliva cures the varnish for adhesion to the tooth surface.
teeth will be isolated with coton rolls and saliva ejector then etching for pits and fissure then tooth will be washed then apply resin based fissure sealant on occlusal surface. resin fissure sealant is a more sensitive for saliva.
