Materials and Methods: Eight orthodontic patients who were candidates for extraction of all first premolars for orthodontic treatment were recruited to this study. Thirty two premolars (upper and lower) were randomly divided into four groups (n=8) for each group, 4 maxillary and 4 mandibular); Control (no -treatment); Fluoride varnish, Unfilled sealant (Light Bond) and filled sealant (Pro-Seal). After two months the brackets were debonded and the teeth were extracted and prepared for Atomic force microscopic scanning. Each sample was scanned twice at two different scan areas 50 and 10µm at the buccal cervical third of the crown. Images were recorded with slow scan rate and resolution and the mean roughness height and total surface area were calculated for each scan area. Comparison between groups was performed using one way analysis of variance test with level of significance was set to be 0.05. Results: Pro Seal treated samples show the lowest roughness height and total surface area. Conclusion: Pro Seal was the most effective prophylaxis technique in preventing enamel demineralization during orthodontic treatment. 11 23 2011 179 186 TODENTJ-5-179 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2011-6-28 2011-8-18 2011-8-19 2011-11-23 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10.2174/1874210601105010179 1553505293 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/5/PAGE/179/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V5/TODENTJ-5-179/TODENTJ-5-179.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V5/TODENTJ-5-179/TODENTJ-5-179.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V5/TODENTJ-5-179/TODENTJ-5-179.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V5/TODENTJ-5-179/TODENTJ-5-179.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V5/TODENTJ-5-179/TODENTJ-5-179.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V5/TODENTJ-5-179/TODENTJ-5-179.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V5/TODENTJ-5-179/TODENTJ-5-179.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V5/TODENTJ-5-179/TODENTJ-5-179.xml Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop Zimmer WB 126 318 2004 Zimmer WB, Rollwinkel Y.
