Pit-and-fissure sealants of the occlusal surfaces for the posterior teeth are well susceptible to develop dental caries compared to the smooth surfaces due to its complex morphology, which makes dental hygiene a challenging fact which give rise to increased plaque accumulation. The use of pit-and-fissure sealants is to provide inhibition toward microorganisms and aggregation of food particles, thereby inhibiting caries initiating and preventing caries progression. The study aimed to assess the effect of pit-and-fissure sealants postbrushing simulation through photography. For this photogenic original study, eight teeth were selected, with two groups each and four teeth present in each of the groups. Brushing simulator machines are well-established methods for analyzing the efficacy of toothbrushes. A total of 10,000 cycles were accounted for by the machine with linear X-axis and Y-axis = 2500 in each group. The clockwise and counterclockwise = 2500 in each group. From the research, it can be concluded that Group A is found to be more effective than Group B, where Group A is Clinpro sealant and Group B is YuSeal. This pit-and-fissure sealant application is very important in clinical practice to prevent the tooth from getting decayed. This research helps us to establish the amount of reduction in both the groups of sealants postbrushing as various brushing patterns influence the retention of pit-and-fissure sealants.
与光滑面相比，后牙咬合面的窝沟封闭剂因其复杂的形态更容易发生龋齿，这使得口腔卫生成为一项具有挑战性的事情，会导致牙菌斑堆积增加。使用窝沟封闭剂是为了抑制微生物和食物颗粒的聚集，从而抑制龋齿的发生并防止龋齿进展。该研究旨在通过摄影评估刷牙模拟后窝沟封闭剂的效果。对于这项可拍摄原始图像的研究，选取了八颗牙齿，分为两组，每组四颗牙齿。刷牙模拟器是分析牙刷功效的成熟方法。机器总共进行10000次循环，每组在X轴和Y轴方向上线性移动2500次，每组顺时针和逆时针方向各移动2500次。从研究中可以得出结论，发现A组比B组更有效，其中A组使用的是Clinpro封闭剂，B组使用的是YuSeal封闭剂。这种窝沟封闭剂的应用在临床实践中对于防止牙齿龋坏非常重要。这项研究有助于我们确定两组封闭剂在刷牙后的减少量，因为不同的刷牙方式会影响窝沟封闭剂的保留情况。
