Primary Outcome(s)

Main Objective: The proposed clinical trial will address the following principal research question:

“What is the relative cost and effectiveness of pit and fissure sealants and fluoride varnish in preventing dental decay in the first permanent molar teeth of children”.
Primary end point(s): The primary outcome measure will be the development of dental caries on first permanent molars at 36 months.

Secondary Objective: The secondary research objectives are:

• To establish the costs and budget impact of pit and fissure sealants (PFS) and fluoride varnish (FV) delivered in a community/school setting and the relative cost-effectiveness of these technologies
• To examine the impact of PFS and FV on children and their parents/carers in terms of quality of life/treatment acceptability measures.
• To examine the implementation of treatment in a community setting with respect to the experience of children, parents, schools and clinicians.
