“…This result is in contrast with results of Pellegrini et al 19 and Mummola et al, 23 who found lower levels of bacteria with the SLB than with elastomeric ligating brackets. In conflict with this, van Gastel et al 21 found higher bacterial colonization with SLB.…”

Objective: To evaluate the effect of different bracket types on the levels of Streptococcus mutans (SM) and Lactobacillus (LB) in saliva, in plaque, and on the periodontal condition. Materials and Methods: Forty patients aged 14 to 16 years, who had Angle Class I malocclusion with minimal crowding, were nonsmokers, were without systematic disease, and did not use antibiotics or oral mouth rinses during the 3-month period before the study were randomly selected. The patients were subdivided into two groups with random allocation of bracket type: conventional brackets (CB; Avex Mx, OPAL orth.) with steel wire ligature or self-ligating brackets (SLB; F1000, Leone S.p.A.). Microbial and periodontal records were obtained before bonding (T 1 ) and 1 month after bonding (T 2 ). Microbial samples were collected from the stimulated saliva and the plaque from the labial surfaces of the upper and lower lateral incisors. To estimate the number of colonyforming units of SM and LB, Dentocult SM and LB kits were used. The plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and pocket depth (PD) values were recorded to evaluate the periodontal condition. Paired t-test and Mann-Whitney U-test were used to compare the groups statistically. Results: No significant differences occurred in SM or LB colonization between the groups. In the SLB group, PI, GI, and PD values increased significantly (P , .05). A greater increase was found in PD value in the SLB group (0.98 mm) compared with the CB group (0.04 mm; P , .05). Conclusions: The F1000 SLB do not have an advantage over Avex Mx CB with respect to periodontal status and colonization of SM and LB.

“…[18][19][20][21][22][23] Some researchers have reported that elastomeric ligated CB cause more plaque accumulation and periodontal inflammation than SLB, 6,18,19 whereas others reported no significant difference. 20 On the contrary, higher bacterial colonization and poorer periodontal health with SLB was also reported.…”

“…Pellegrini et al 24 demonstrated higher total bacteria and oral S mutans colonization in the CBs group at both 1 and 5 weeks after bonding. Similarly, in a recent study, Mummola et al 33 stated that the CBs showed statistically significantly higher lactobacilli colonization when compared to that of subjects treated with SLBs. However, Pithon et al 34 reported greater bacterial accretion on the SLBs than on the CBs ligated with elastic ligature.…”

“…11,[14][15][16][17][18]23,24,[32][33][34] Only some studies compare SLBs with CBs for microbial colonization after bonding. [32][33][34] Nonetheless, these studies have showed conflicting results. Thus, this topic remains controversial.…”

Objective: To determine the effect of bracket type on halitosis, periodontal status, and microbial colonization. Materials and Methods: Forty-six patients scheduled for fixed orthodontic treatment (age 11-16 years) were selected from the orthodontic department of Suleyman Demirel University. Patients were divided into two groups with random distribution of brackets; 23 patients were treated with self-ligating brackets (group SLBs), the others with conventional brackets (group CBs). Halitosis measurements and periodontal and microbial records were obtained before the placement of brackets (T0), 1 week later (T1), and 5 weeks after bonding (T2). Periodontal parameters, including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and bleeding on probing index (BOP), were obtained from all the bonded teeth. Halitosis measurements were performed at the same time. Microbial samples were obtained from the buccal surfaces of all the bonded teeth. Data were analyzed by using a repeated-measurement analysis of variance test for the comparison of parameters between groups and times. Results: Periodontal parameters and halitosis results were higher in the CBs group than in the SLBs group (P , .05). In the SLBs group, halitosis and BOP values revealed no pronounced changes between T1 and T2 (P . .05). Intra-and intergroup comparisons showed that there were no statistically significant differences for microbial colonization between all the time intervals (P . .05). Conclusion: Bracket type has an effect on halitosis and periodontal status. Therefore, self-ligating brackets may be advised in order to prevent patients from developing halitosis and to increase the likelihood of good oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment.

This study investigated differences in periodontal health variables between buccally impacted maxillary canines (BIMC) and palatally impacted maxillary canines (PIMC) after surgical-orthodontic treatment with open technique. Nineteen patients were enrolled: 10 with unilateral BIMC (5 men, 5 women; mean age 18.50 ± 1.96 years) and 9 with unilateral PIMC (4 men, 5 women; mean age 19.44 ± 2.40 years). Probing depth and keratinized tissue were recorded 12 months after surgical-orthodontic treatment, and the differences between the 2 sides were analyzed as primary outcomes. In addition, data for BIMC and PIMC were directly compared. In the BIMC group, probing depths were significantly higher for lateral incisors than for the untreated side (P = 0.044), and keratinized tissue values were significantly lower for canines than for the untreated side (P = 0.006). No significant differences were observed in the PIMC group. In BIMC, surgical-orthodontic treatment with open technique resulted in loss of periodontal keratinized tissue in the treated tooth and periodontal attachment loss in adjacent lateral incisors. However, the periodontal status of PIMC was not affected by surgical-orthodontic treatment with open technique.
