“…Oral hygiene control during the use of different orthodontic appliances is a prevention method of the periodontal infl ammation and dental caries, so dental hygienists may signifi cantly contribute into the success of ongoing orthodontic treatment [10,12,13,23].…”

“…Nevertheless, effectiveness of micro-implant anchorage may be realized only if several conditions would be properly followed: dentist need to choose correct position for intra-osseus fi xture placement, implantation procedure should be provided in the most atraumatic manner, peri-implant microenvironment should support successive osteointegration and favorable primary stabilization, micro-implant itself should be produced out of biocompatible material [8,9]. Except above-mentioned factors proper oral care also remains vital component for successful micro-implant functioning, while adequate oral hygiene itself should be an obligatory condition of each ongoing orthodontic treatment [10,11].…”

“…Braces and micro-implants may serve as retention points for the dental plaque under the condition of insuffi cient everyday oral care [12,13,14]. Risk of potential micro-implant loss increases drastically if uncontrolled soft tissue infl ammation present at peri-implant area, caused by the accumulation of microbial biofi lm [10,11]. Braces on the other hand correlate with two-three-fold increase in plaque amount and severe progression of dental caries if patient does not control oral hygiene status properly [12,13,14].…”

“…Bracesassociated hygienic diffi culties also predispose pathogenic bacteria growth, which in turn increases the risk of gingivitis development [12,16,17]. Patients with temporary anchorage devices also develops pronounced changes of oral microfl ora, which distinct signifi cantly between patients with different oral hygiene conditions [10,11]. Broadly speaking orthodontic patients with various treatment devices have numerous areas in the oral cavity, where pathogenic bacteria (periodontal pathogens, cariogenic microorganisms and fungi) may multiply, and such effect may be prevented only through thorough mechanical brushing [10,11,12,16,17].…”

Background. Braces and micro-implants may serve as retention points for the dental plaque under the condition of insufficient everyday oral care, thus compromising oral hygiene level of orthodontic patients. Objective. The assess changes of oral hygiene among orthodontic patients with braces and micro-implants during the use of adapted specifically-designed plaque-controlled regime of self-performed oral hygiene measures. Material and Methods. Study group was formed out of 30 patients aged 18 to 50 years, who were planned to undergo orthodontic treatment with brace system and micro-implant. During the first month of orthodontic treatment patients used a toothbrush with thin bristles, during the second month – V-toothbrush, and during the third month – a two-row and monobundle toothbrush. The interdental hygiene was provided by the size-adjusted toothbrushes. Clinical assessment was provided with the use of hygienic indices (O’Leary, Green-Vermillion and Turesky). Results. At the period of first month after orthodontic treatment initiation O’Leary index increased abruptly to 52.6±6.4%, which stands for unsatisfactory oral hygiene level. Values of Turesky and Green-Vermillion indices increased twofold after orthodontic appliance attachment, and after first month of treatment their values were 1.98±0.31, and 2.12±0.34 points, respectively; while after third month of treatment – 0.99±0.1 and 1.19±0.14, respectively. Conclusions. Oral hygiene conditions were deteriorated among all patients, compared to the pre-treatment situation, which was caused by orthodontic appliances fixation. Oral hygiene of the patients with fixed orthodontic appliances should include usage of two-row toothbrush, which most efficiently clean the plaque above and under the brace arch; and a mono-bundle toothbrush for additional cleaning around brace locks, in gingival area, and around micro-implants.
