Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age between 18 and 35 years;
- Good overall health;

Control Group
Sealant Group
Low-Level Laser Group
Low Level Laser + Sealant Group
The volunteers in this group will receive the same hygiene instructions as the other groups and will undergo both treatments, except that water will be used instead of the sealant and the laser device will be set to a power of 0 W. In other words, the same irradiation procedure will be performed but without the emission of light.
The volunteers in this group will receive treatment with sealant (Permaseal - Ultradent), which is a photopolymerizable methacrylate-based resin.
The volunteers in this group will receive irradiation with AsGaAl laser at a wavelength of 780 nm (Laser XT Therapy, DMC, São Carlos, SP, Brazil) with relative isolation.
The volunteers in this group will receive the same irradiation administered to Low-level Laser Group. During the last session, these volunteers will also receive the same sealant applied in Sealant Group.
