Study Summary
The goals of this study are to determine if 1) placement times of pit and fissure sealants using the DryShield system differ from those when using the cotton roll isolation technique; and 2) there is a significant difference in patient preference between Dryshield and the cotton roll technique.
Primary Outcome
The time for sealant application was recorded with a stopwatch by the dental assistant as follows for the techniques: the insertion of the first isolation aid (CRI or DS) in the oral cavity constituted the start time, and the end time was when the corresponding isolation aid (CRI or DS) was removed from the oral cavity after the sealants application.
