Investigation of the effect of deproteinization agents on the clinical success of non-invasive fissure sealant application, which is a non-invasive method used to prevent caries formation or to stop the progression of initial caries lesions limited to enamel on tooth surfaces thought to be at high risk of caries.

Since there is no in vivo study in the literature evaluating the clinical success of the use of hypochlorous acid for deproteinization in fissure sealants, our planned study is the first in this regard.

RECRUITINGModified Simonsen Criteria
Modified Simonsen Criteria Score 0 Fissure sealant is completely in the mouth and there is no new caries. Score 1 Partial loss of fissure sealant, no new caries. Score 2 Partial loss of fissure sealant and new caries. Score 3 Complete loss of fissure sealant, no new caries. Score 4 Complete loss of fissure sealant and new caries.
Time frame: Following the sealant application, controls will be made at 3,6, 12 and 24 months
Edge Integrity Evaluation Criteria
Edge Integrity Evaluation Criteria 0 The fissure sealant and tooth surface are intact and cannot be distinguished with a probe. 1 The edges of the fissure sealants can be distinguished with a probe. 2 There is a gap along the edge of the fissure sealant and deep cracks reaching the central fossa.
Time frame: Following the sealant application, controls will be made at 3,6, 12 and 24 months.
