Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
All the participants will be randomized using dynamic randomized block design for balancing age and sex. A block randomization list will be created by https://www.sealedenvelope.com with a block size of six. The group allocation will be revealed by an assistant not directly involved in the study and a random code number will be assigned to each patient based on the randomization list created at the beginning of study.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
The participating patients, the main therapist corresponding the varnish administration and evaluate the study outcome, the person who collect and analyses data and the persons prepares the results report will be blinded with respect to the type of varnish used. In this regard the placebo varnish will be specially manufactured by the Asia ChemiTeb Co with the same basic composition and viscosity as the commercial Ariadent fluoride varnish (Asia ChemiTeb Co., Tehran, Iran). All varnishes will be stored in similar tubes and will be labeled as A, B and C.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention1: 5% fluoride varnish: Ariadent fluoride varnish (Asia ChemiTeb Co, Tehran, Iran). At the time of debonding, remaining composite material on the enamel surfaces will be removed with 12-bladed tungsten carbide bur and a low-speed hand piece followed by polishing with a rubber cup a fluoride-free pumice paste . The varnish will be applied with a small brush in a thin layer of the facial surface of the eight anterior maxillary teeth. After 60 s of setting, the patients will be instructed not to drink within 60 min, not to eat for 4 h, and brush their teeth until the next day morning. This process will be repeated every three months (4 times during study) after cleaning and drying the teeth.
