Background: Fixed orthodontic appliance considered a risk factor that effect oral
health status. Aims of this study were evaluation of oral hygiene, gingival health
and caries experience among patients with fixed orthodontic appliance at
different time intervals of treatment.
Material & Methods:- 32 patients (24 female and 8 male) included in this study and
they underwent clinical examination plaque, calculus, gingival health and caries
experience by using Loe, 1967, Green and vermillion, 1960 and WHO, 1987
indices at four time intervals: 2-3 weeks after appliance insertion, 2 months, 4
months, 6 months. The statistical analysis of data was by using statistical
Package for social Sciences (SPSS version 18).
Results:- The means of all variables examined increased during six months of
orthodontic treatment with high significant difference during visits. 49.6% of
patients developed new caries lesions after six months of treatment.
Conclusion:- Patients underwent orthodontic treatment at high risk for developing
oral health problems.
