Resin-based fissure sealant (2nd/3rd/4th generation) vs No sealant (control/no treatment)

Dentine caries in permanent molars (24 months) · Children and adolescents (general population, aged under 20 years)

Resin-based fissure sealant (2nd/3rd/4th generation) probably leads to lower dentine caries in permanent molars (24 months) compared with no sealant (control/no treatment) (moderate certainty).
