Periodontal health and relative quantity of subgingival Porphyromonas gingivalis during orthodontic treatment

Abstract: Fixed orthodontic treatment is conducive to dental plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation. In our study, after removal of orthodontic appliances, periodontal health improved, and the carriage and amount of subgingival P. gingivalis decreased. Nevertheless, the amount of subgingival P. gingivalis remained high for 6 months after appliance removal, and this finding might imply a potential risk to periodontal health in certain patients.

“…The increase in plaque was statistically significant only for adolescents but visible inflammation values turned out to be significant for adolescent and young adults alike. The results of this study is similar to the results of the studies [2,4,10] showing that the fixed orthodontic treatment facilitates plaque accumulation and reporting the development of generalized gingivitis independent from the plaque quality of patients following the fixed orthodontic treatment.…”

“…This is consistent with previous studies, which have shown that higher numbers of periodontal pathogens at the completion of orthodontic treatment were significantly decreased after appliance removal, and a reduction in periodontal pathogens was correlated with improvement in oral hygiene and periodontal health. 18,19 Although Pg, Pi, and Tf are members of the normal oral flora, decreased levels of these microbes are clinically important. Pg, Pi, and Tf have been 7.97 6 0.5 7.97 6 0.6 7.77 6 0.6 7.64 6 0.5 T1, T2 .…”
