NCT ID NCT07612540
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if using a diode laser before applying a tooth-colored sealant helps it stick longer and prevent cavities better. About 111 young adults aged 17-22 will get sealants on their back teeth, with or without laser pre-treatment. Researchers will check sealant retention and cavity formation over 12 months.
