Pit and fissure sealants have become the most effective noninvasive treatment for addressing teeth with deep pits and fissures in children. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the behavior of the child when administering the pit and fissure sealant using the rubber dam and MiniDam.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methodology:<\/jats:title>\n Fifty-two children in the age range of 9\u201312 years were randomly allocated into two groups: Group I, rubber dam and Group II, MiniDam. The children were randomly assigned into two groups with 26 members in Group 1 (rubber dam isolation) and 26 members in Group 2 (MiniDam isolation). Children\u2019s anxiety was assessed using the modified Venham scale and heart rate. The children\u2019s pain intensity was assessed using Memojis Pain Scale. The data collected were tabulated and statistically analyzed using SPSS software. The level of significance was established at 0.05.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Intergroup comparison of heart rates showed a statistically significant difference for both the groups at various intervals (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n value 0.05), that is, before placing the dam, with the dam, and during treatment. Pain and anxiety scores showed a statistically significant difference in both the groups before and after the procedure (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n The use of MiniDam can offer a better option for the pit\/fissure sealant procedure due to its unique qualities, including simplicity of placement, improved behavior management, and less chair time in children.<\/jats:p>\n
