After applying fissure sealants children were followed up 6 months later. Statistical Analysis Used: Mann- U- Whitney Test was used. Results: Complete retention after 6 month follow up was 86.7% in case group and 82.8% in control group. No significant difference was seen between the groups after 6 month follow up. ( P = 0.508). Conclusion: Although statistical evaluation didn't show significant difference, but sealant retention was more after preparation technique.
