Summary

The aim of this study is to assess if there are significant differences in periodontal conditions between patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment with stainless steel or ceramic brackets. For this study, patients will be enrolled and divided into two groups, according to the type of brackets (stainless steel or ceramic) used for orthodontic treatment. A professional supragingival and subgingival oral hygiene will be performed before the bonding of the orthodontic brackets together with a periodontal evaluation will be recording the following periodontal indices: PPD, BoP, BS, GI, PI, BEWE and Schiff Air Index. Indices will be recorded after 1, 3 and 6 months after the bonding, separately for both in maxillary and in mandibular dental arches and only for teeth with brackets bonded.
