Prevalence of Caries in Lower Anterior Teeth Bonded with Fixed Orthodontic Retainer in Jammu Population
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Aim: To find the prevalence of caries in lower anterior teeth bonded with fixed orthodontic retainer after one year of orthodontic treatment completion in Jammu population. Materials and Methods: Out of a total sample size of 157 subjects aged 15-25 years coming to the Department of Orthodontics in Indira Gandhi Government Dental College, Jammu, 100 were selected based on the inclusion criteria and were equally divided into 2 groups of 50 patients each. Group I contains 25 males and 25 females who were given bonded canine to canine retainer in lower anterior teeth after orthodontic treatment whereas Group II consists of 25 males and 25 females who were given removable retainers. Lower anterior teeth from 3 to 3 of every subject in both the groups were examined both clinically and radiographically. These subjects were provided with retainers post orthodontic treatment from 1 year. Results: Majority of the subjects showed carious lesion relation to Central Incisors and Lateral Incisors with fewer incidences of caries in canines. However, the difference between genders is statistically insignificant (p=0.9012). There are more incidences for caries in Central and Lateral Incisors in comparison to canines with insignificant association with different genders (p=0.6666). There was statistically insignificant relation between caries incidence for different teeth in two groups (p=0.6475). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the mandibular central and lateral incisors in the experimental group had equal caries frequency compared to each other, but with higher frequency when compared to canines. In spite of increased plaque accumulation around bonded orthodontic retainer, patient can prevent damage to their teeth by good oral hygiene with various oral hygiene products available.
