The effect of periodic oral prophylaxis on periodontal health in fixed orthodontic patients
Keywords:
fixed orthodontic, oral hygiene, periodontal healthAbstract
Background: In addition to providing good alignment, fixed orthodontic treatment improves dentoalveolar and maxillomandibular function. Periodic oral prophylaxis was utilised in this study to assess the periodontal health of fixed orthodontic patients. Materials & Methods: A total of 240 fixed orthodontic patients participated in the study. Two study groups, each with 120 patients, were constituted as follows: All first premolar extraction with fixed orthodontic therapy in Group I: Subjects having Class I malocclusion. Home care instructions were offered in these themes. All first premolar extraction with fixed orthodontic therapy in Group II: Subjects with Class I malocclusion. In every fifth month of fixed orthodontic therapy, these participants received home maintenance instructions as well as scaling. Results: There were 40 males and 80 females in Group I, and 70 females and 50 males in Group II. At initial (T0) and follow up after 1 year (T1) in Group I, the gingival index mean was 0.60 and 1.16, plaque index was 0.92 and 1.36, and pocket depth was 1.52 and 1.70, respectively. A
