“…Healthy patient sites manifest a flora, predominantly gram +ve cocci form with scanty motile forms and spirochetes. 36 The dark field microscope has the distinct advantage, that a reflected light is used (as against transmitted light in an ordinary microscope) in a dark field to improve the contrast. The contrast gives an increased resolution so that the slender organisms such as spirochetes, their motility and morphology can be seen under dark field microscope.…”

“…Most papers on the management of oral hygiene in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment have concentrated on the effects of different oral-hygiene regimes [9][10][11] , and on the efficacy of various oral-hygiene aids in plaque control and reduction of gingival inflammation [12][13] . Manual tooth brushing, one of the oldest methods of plaque removal, remains the mainstay of oral hygiene and plaque control.…”

ABSTRACT:Plaque is major etiological factor in the causation of periodontal disease. Orthodontic appliances are known to accumulate plaque owing to their complex configuration. This study is to evaluate the difference in plaque accumulation both quantitatively and qualitatively, and oral hygiene maintenance, between Begg's and Straight wire appliances. Forty patients between the ages of 13 years -23 years, were subjected to oral prophylaxis to bring the plaque score to zero before the start of the study and were asked to report every 2 weeks to identify the microbial shift in plaque sample. The plaque samples were collected in 2 ml of saline containing test tubes. The disclosing solution was applied on the labial and lingual tooth surfaces and the plaque was scored with help of Quigly & Heins index. Data was analysed using SPSS software. p<0.005 was considered as the statistically significant level. Significant difference between group I and II for variables V1& V2 at each time point. Also the group II patients are showing significant increase in plaque index value at each point. Inspite of maintaining same environment the plaque accumulation and spirochetes are more in straight wire appliance than Begg's and the flora is shifting to more pathogenic form.

“…Mechanical removal procedures are unable to prevent completely white spot formation during MB treatment. [4][5][6][7][8] It is generally accepted that fluoride ions promote remineralization of tooth substance and reduce the rate of demineralization. However, fluoride treatment has been shown to have a reduced effect under bacterially produced lower pH conditions 9 as they occur in MB patients compared with untreated individuals.…”

Objective: To test the null hypotheses: (1) there is no difference in the caries protective effect of ozone and Cervitec/Fluor Protector during multibracket (MB) appliance therapy, and (2) DIAGNOdent and quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) are not superior to a visual evaluation of initial caries lesions. Materials and Methods: Twenty right-handed patients with a very poor oral hygiene who required full MB appliance therapy were analyzed during 26 months. In a split-mouth-design, the four quadrants of each patient were either treated with ozone, a combination of Cervitec and Fluor Protector, or served as untreated controls. The visible plaque index (VPI) and white spot formation were analyzed clinically. DIAGNOdent and QLF were used for a quantitative assessment of white spot formation. Results:The average VPI in all four dental arch quadrants amounted to 55.6% and was independent of the preventive measure undertaken. In the quadrants treated with Cervitec/Fluor Protector, only 0.7% of the areas developed new, clinically visible white spots. This was significantly (P Ͻ .05) less than in the quadrants treated with ozone (3.2%). The lesions detected with QLF only partially corresponded to the clinically detected white spots, while DIAGNOdent proved to be unable to detect any changes at all. Conclusions: The caries protective effect of Cervitec/Fluor Protector during MB therapy was superior to ozone, and a visual evaluation of initial caries lesions was superior to both DIAGNOdent and QLF.
