The aim of the present investigation was to study whether an intense period of individual oral hygiene education would result in proper dental health behavior and to compare the effects of such education on 30 individuals undergoing subsequent orthodontic treatment and 30 controls without such treatment. The investigation consisted of two experimental periods: one period of oral hygiene education during which information on proper plaque control was given fortnightly for 6 weeks and one follow-up period of 30 months corresponding to the orthodontic treatment phase. The results suggest that it is possible to achieve and maintain a high standard of dental health behavior following an intense period of individual oral hygiene education. A certain deterioration of the gingival status was observed after 3 months in the orthodontically treated children. This was interpreted as being due to the influence of subgingivally located orthodontic bands. After 30 months a high level of oral hygiene and gingival status as well as a low caries activity were still apparent with only minor and insignificant differences between the children subject to orthodontic treatment and the controls.
本研究的目的是探讨一段强化的个人口腔卫生教育期是否会带来恰当的口腔健康行为，并比较这种教育对30名接受后续正畸治疗的个体和30名未接受此类治疗的对照者的影响。该研究包括两个实验阶段：一个口腔卫生教育阶段，在此期间每两周提供一次关于正确控制牙菌斑的信息，为期6周；以及一个为期30个月的随访阶段，对应正畸治疗阶段。结果表明，经过一段强化的个人口腔卫生教育期后，有可能实现并维持高标准的口腔健康行为。在接受正畸治疗的儿童中，3个月后观察到牙龈状况有一定程度的恶化。这被解释为是由于龈下正畸带的影响。30个月后，高水平的口腔卫生和牙龈状况以及低龋齿活动仍然明显，接受正畸治疗的儿童与对照者之间只有微小且不显著的差异。
