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
teeth will be isolated with cotton rolls and saliva ejector than etching for pits and fissure sealant
Clinical-effectiveness (will be measured with DFS
Clinical-effectiveness (will be measured by DFS) Clinical effectiveness (continuous outcome will be measured with DFS D Decayed in permanent molar Filling in permanent molar S Surface
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of one year
Cost-effectiveness (will be measured with Incremental cost effective ratio ICER
Cost-effectiveness (will be measured with Cost-effectiveness will be calculated based on the following measures:- Economic measures (continuous outcome, (money) will be measured with Calculate The total cost of each of FV and FS in every visit) . Clinical effectiveness (continuous outcome will be measured with DFS.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of one year
