Based on selection criteria, out of 56 patients who were assessed for eligibility, 45 were selected. Approximately more than half of the patients (53.30%) were female, and more than two‐thirds of them (71.10%) were at high risk of caries. The mean age was 29.42 (SD 3.68; range 24–36 months) as listed in Table Characteristics of the study participants.
