Pit and fissure sealants represent a high\u2010quality, evidence\u2010based preventive measure. However, ensuring the reliability of their application by newly graduated intern dental students trained through tele\u2010education remains an emerging area of growing interest. Thus, the current study aimed to assess the clinical success of pit and fissure sealants placed by intern dental students following tele\u2010demonstration training compared to traditional training approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This randomized controlled trial involved 100 mandibular first permanent molars in 50 children aged 7 to 9\u2009years, treated by 20 dental interns assigned to two groups using a split\u2010mouth design.
