Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This study is to evaluate retention of pit and fissure sealant with application of 38% silver diamine fluoride which is supposed to arrest caries in 6 - 8 year old children. Silver diamine fluoride tends to increase the retention of pit and fissure sealant. This study also evaluated if there is any color change after application of silver diamine fluoride and whether the parents accept the discoloration in their child.
