Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Orthodontic treatment is associated with a number of adverse effects such as root resorption, pain, pulpal changes, periodontal disease and temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). Hence, we planned the present clinical study to analyse various adverse effects occurring in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Materials & methods: The present study included evaluation of adverse effects occurring patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. A total of 25 patients planned to undergo fixed orthodontic treatment were included in the present study. Complete clinical and demographic details of all the patients were obtained. Regular follow-up of all the patients was done after every two weeks to record presence or absence of any form of adverse effects. All the adverse effects, as recorded by patient’s clinical response and through radiographic examination were recorded on the Microsoft excel sheet and were analyzed by SPSS software. Results: Pain and periodontal diseases were the most common adverse effects found to be present in 48 percent and 40 percent of the patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: Orthodontic treatment is commonly associated with certain adverse effects, which an orthodontist must be aware of so that early recognition and treatment of such effects could be carried out.
