Comparison of the Influence of Different Orthodontic Techniques on Periodontal Index and Aesthetics of Patients
Objective To investigate the effects of traditional fixation and cloakless orthodontic techniques on periodontal index and aesthetic degree of orthodontic patients.Methods A total of 106 patients who received orthodontic treatment in the author's hospital from April 2019 to April 2021 were included in the study.All patients were divided into observation group(n=51)and control group(n=55)according to different treatment methods.Patients in both groups received oral health education after admission,and were instructed to learn the improved Bass brushing method.Patients in both groups were treated with the same toothpaste and toothbrush during treatment.Patients in control group were treated with traditional fixed orthodontic technology,and patients in observation group were treated with invisible orthodontic technology without brackets.The orthodontic treatment time,the orthodontic time of tilted teeth and the orthodontic time of torsion teeth were compared between the two groups.The differences of gingival index(GI),plaque index(PLI),probing depth of gingival sulcus(SPD),gingival sulcus bleeding index(SBI),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1β(IL-1β)in gingival sulcus fluid were compared between 2 groups before and after treatment.Finally,the satisfaction of 2 groups after treatment was evaluated.Results The orthodontic treatment time,tilt tooth righting time and torsion tooth righting time in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group(P<0.05).The levels of GI,PLI and SBI after treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the levels of GI,PLI and SBI in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The levels of TNF-α and IL-β in gingival crevicular fluid after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the levels of TNF-α and IL-β in gingival crevicular fluid in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The aesthetic score of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with the traditional fixed orthodontic technology,the application of cloakless orthodontic technology in orthodontic treatment can shorten the orthodontic treatment time,and the effect of orthodontic appliance on the periodontal health of orthodontic patients is slight,with good aesthetics and high patient satisfaction.
