Detailed Description

220 children between 5-7 years with at least one permanent molar erupting will be selected, with a maximum score of ICDAS 3. These children will be randomly allocated into two groups according to the technique adopted. The teeth will be evaluated by ICDAS, laser fluorescence (DIAGNOdent), QLF and subtraction radiography at baseline and after 15 days, 3, 6, 9,12,18,24 months.
