| description | Fixed orthodontic appliances corrupt plaque removal, proper oral hygiene, and gingival health so
periodontal evaluation is important to be checked in every appointment. The aim of the present study
was to assess gingival health among patients with a fixed orthodontic appliance. A clinical comparative
study conducted on 25 patients with an aged ranged from 15 to 25 years. Clinical parameters included
plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and bleeding on probing (BOP) were recorded at base line before
starting orthodontic treatment and after 1 month of treatment. A double paired t-test was applied to
the data collected for statistical analysis. The mean value of PI (1.11), GI (1.155), and BOP (0.600)
scores was increased after placement of fixed orthodontic appliance, but with no statistically significant
difference with base line for PI (P-value = 0.596), GI (P-value = 0.355), and BOP (P-value = 0.256),
respectively. Regarding age group, mean PI (1.46), GI (1.22), and BOP (0.875) were increased with
increasing age, patients who age’s ≥20 showed statistical significant difference for gingival and plaque
means P-value = 0.006 and P-value = 0.03) for ≥20, respectively. The finding of this study had
shown that patients with fixed orthodontic appliances had non-significant increase in the mean value
of plaque, gingival, and BOP indices scores. All mean scores were increased with increasing age, but
with non-significantly for BOP only. |
