Abstract
Occlusal surface of posterior teeth are highly susceptible to caries due of their anatomy. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate and compare the retention and caries prevention ability of resin infiltrant ICON® with the moisture tolerant self - priming resin Embrace™ Wet Bond. A non- significant difference was observed (p > 0.05) for both materials with respect to retention after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months intervals. A significant difference was found (p<0.03) between ICON® resin infiltrant vs Embrace™ Wet Bond with respect to the retention after 12 months.
