A Comparative Evaluation of the Effect of APF Treatment and Tooth Mousse Treatment on the Microleakage of Resin Sealants - An Invitro Study (Original Research)

Pit and fissure sealants are used to seal existing pits and fissures of tooth from oral environment thereby preventing the occurrence of caries. The properties required of an ideal fissure sealant include biocompatibility, retention capacity, and resistance to abrasion and wear. On the other hand, the key consideration to success is adequate adhesion. APF and Tooth Mousse are proved to successful in reducing demineralization and improving remineralization. The purpose of this invitro study was to evaluate and compare the effects of APF gel and Tooth Mousse on the microleakage of Pit and fissure sealants
