Correlation between Orthodontic Treatment and Periodontitis- A Clinical Study
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Orthodontic treatment may inhibit complete oral hygiene procedures and create the possibility of transition of the subgingival plaque to a more aggressive periopathogenic flora. This study was conducted to establish the correlation between orthodontic tooth movement and periodontitis. Materials & Method: This study was conducted on 160 patients who underwent orthodontic treatment for malocclusion. They were divided into two groups. Group I patients were treated with fixed orthodontics while group II patients received myofunctional appliances. Results: Out of 160 patients, males were 60 and females were 100. The difference was significant (P- 0.02). The value for plaque, gingival recession and tooth mobility significantly increased in group I patients. However the difference was statistical non- significant in group II patients. Conclusion: There is correlation between malocclusion and periodontitis. Hence maintainence of oral hygiene is very essential in patients with malocclusion and this has to be maintained before undergoing orthodontic treatment.
