“…This finding is in agreement with other studies (Marsh et al, 2017) who perform their study on age (14-26) years and were in contrast with Nsour, 2013. On the other hand, the increase of visible inflammation and gingival recession among young adults was found statistically significant after treatment whereas the average visible plaque and inflammation values of the adolescents proved to be statistically significant after treatment who perform their study on age (12-17) and (18-32) (Karacaoglu et al, 2016).…”

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.

This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effect of Khat chewing on the gingival health of patients with fixed orthodontic appliances (FOAs) by measuring some periodontal parameters before and during 6-time intervals of orthodontic therapy. It also aimed to evaluate this effect regarding gender. The study included 39 Yemeni orthodontic patients with a mean age of 25.7±4.5; divided into two groups, a control (non-chewers) with a mean age of 25.81±4.3 and an experimental (chewers) group with a mean age of 25.61±4.8. An examination sheet was used for data collection, including the patient’s personal information, oral health status, and three periodontal parameters: plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and pocket depth (PD). These data measurements were analyzed using SPSS v.24. The study showed an increase in mean plaque, gingival, and pocket depth indices at all-time visits after the appliance insertion compared to all patients’ pre-treatment status. It indicates that Khat chewing harms all periodontal parameters during the orthodontic treatment period. Mean PI, GI and PD were lower in female patients than male patients after the appliance insertion. The khat chewing process mechanically removes the dental plaque, decreasing PI and GI, while PD was worse in Khat chewers than non-chewers. Finally, it is recommended that chewing Khat should be avoided during orthodontic therapy.

Background/Aim: The objective of this research was to evaluate the level of oral hygiene, the prevalence of caries, and the condition of the soft tissues in children and adolescents referred for their first orthodontic examination. Material and Methods: The research was conducted at the Department of Orthodontics of Sarajevo University - at the Faculty of Dentistry with the Dental Clinical Center. A total of 300 patients with mixed and permanent dentition who were referred for their first orthodontic examination were included in the study. The patients were offered to sign a Letter of Informed Consent for this study. All patients were assigned a Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (dmft/DMFT) index. Periodontal indices were evaluated on all first permanent molars and all permanent central incisors. The periodontal indices included the determination of PI,CI,GI, PBI. Results: The results were processed with the application of standard statistical methods, by using the SPSS computer program for statistical analyses (SPSS-Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Version 21.0. The results of this study show a high dmft and DMFT indices in patients referred for orthodontic examination. The dmft index value in the respondents with mixed dentition was 3.0 (1.0 - 6.0). The DMFT index value in the respondents with permanent dentition was 4.0 (0.0 - 6.0), while in the respondents with mixed dentition, it was 1.0 (0.0 - 3.0). Our research also shows that out of 300 patients referred to an orthodontist for their first orthodontic examination, 250 of them (83.33%) have demonstrated an increased value of the Plaque index. Conclusions: The results of this research should be peculiarly alarming for pedodontists and general dentists, cautioning them to implement caries prevention measures more intensively and make referrals to an orthodontist only in case of those patients who have been cured previously.
