Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2004, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between dental crowding and the periodontal index of gingival and plaque in development of gingivits in children and adolescents in the age group of 7 to 15 years old, as a mean to prevent the periodontal disease that according to literature, begins precociously during childhood and develops during adult age. After verification of the conditions through utilization of those indexes, it was possible to conclude that gingivitis was present in practically 100% of the examined individuals.There is a positive correlation between the presence of dental plaque and gum inflammation stages, it was not possible to establish a definite correlation between dental crowding and gingivitis.
