Abstract
Background/Aim. Orthodontic patients should be familiar with techniques of
maintaining oral hygiene as well as with proper methods of checking
maintenance of oral hygiene. The aim of this study was to determine a
correlation between condition of periodontium and techniques of maintaining
oral hygiene in patients treated with fixed orthodontic appliances. Methods.
The research population included 100 patients, aged 15-25, treated by the
orthodontist from 2005 to 2010. The maintenance of oral hygiene and the
condition of periodontium was assessed using the following indices: plaque
index, gingival index, bleeding index and oral hygiene index. The study was
carried out using data obtained from the especially designed questionnaire as
well as by objective examination of periodontal condition in accordance with
the World Health Organization methodology, using adequate indicators and
indices. Results. The results of the study show a significant correlation
between condition of periodontium and oral hygiene in those with fixed
orthodontic appliances. The use of interdental brushes and mouthwash liquid,
as well as teeth brushing, were among the most significant predictors of
healthy teeth and mouth. Conclusion. Teeth and mouth hygiene determined by
frequency of teeth brushing, using of interdental brushes and mouthwash
liquid are the basic preconditions for preservation and promotion of tooth
and mouth health in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances.
