The study was to monitor effectiveness of glass ionomer sealant and resin-based sealant in ICDAS, and to evaluat the correlation between ICDAS and DIAGNOdent over 24 months. Over 200 8-year-old children with at least 2 permanent molar with the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) scores 0-4 were placed glass ionomer sealant and resin-based sealant split-mouthed randomly, and examined with ICDAS and DIAGNOdent before sealents placement and 6, 12 and 24 months after.
