The incidence of dental caries and gingival disease is at higher level in orthodontic patients. The present study demonstrated oral health status of patients undergoing fixed orthodontics.
A total of 168 patients age ranged 12-17 years who were undergoing orthodontic treatment for 2 years of both genders were recruited. The assessment of dental caries as Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) score and plaque index was determined at first, second, and last visits.
Age 12 years had 22 males and 28 females, 13 years had 14 males and 22 females, 14 years had 8 males and 18 females, 15 years had 7 males and 15 females, 16 years had 6 males and 14 females, and 17 years had 9 males and 5 females. The mean DMFT score in age group 12 years was 1.74 and 2.24 at first and third visits, respectively, at 13 years was 1.60 and 2.04 at first and third visits, respectively, at 14 years was 2.38 and 2.72 at first and third visits, respectively, at 15 years was 1.74 and 2.08, at 16 years was 3.32 and 3.56 and at 17 years was 3.40, and 3.64 at first and third visits, respectively.
There was significant higher dental caries and plaque index in age group 12 years.
正畸患者中龋齿和牙龈疾病的发病率较高。本研究展示了接受固定正畸治疗患者的口腔健康状况。
共招募了168名年龄在12至17岁之间、接受正畸治疗2年的男女患者。在首次、第二次和最后一次就诊时，对龋齿进行评估，确定龋失补牙（DMFT）评分和菌斑指数。
12岁组有22名男性和28名女性，13岁组有14名男性和22名女性，14岁组有8名男性和18名女性，15岁组有7名男性和15名女性，16岁组有6名男性和14名女性，17岁组有9名男性和5名女性。12岁年龄组首次就诊时的平均DMFT评分为1.74，第三次就诊时为2.24；13岁组首次就诊时为1.60，第三次就诊时为2.04；14岁组首次就诊时为2.38，第三次就诊时为2.72；15岁组首次就诊时为1.74，第三次就诊时为2.08；16岁组首次就诊时为3.32，第三次就诊时为3.56；17岁组首次就诊时为3.40，第三次就诊时为3.64。
12岁年龄组的龋齿和菌斑指数显著更高。
