Self-cleaning areas in anterior teeth primarily include the smooth surfaces of the incisors and canines, which are less prone to plaque accumulation due to their position and shape. In posterior teeth, the occlusal surfaces of molars and premolars have a more complex anatomy but can still exhibit self-cleaning to some extent through the action of mastication and saliva flow. However, these areas are generally more susceptible to plaque buildup, necessitating regular brushing and flossing to maintain oral hygiene. Overall, while some natural cleaning occurs, diligent oral care is essential for both anterior and posterior teeth.
