Summary

Objective: The aim of our study was to determine the effect of two different types of removable appliances on periodontal health, dental plaque colonization, as well as saliva, pH, flow rate, and buffering capacity of the patients.

Method: A total of 30 pediatric patients aged 7-12 years were treated with a total of 30 appliances including 15 clear aligners (Group A) and 15 labiolingual spring hawleys (Group B). In the clinical examination of the patients, dental caries status was evaluated by DMFT and dft index, periodontal health status was evaluated by probing pocket depth measurements and plaque, gingival and probing bleeding indices. In addition, saliva and dental plaque samples were taken and salivary parameters and microbiologic structure of plaque were analyzed. All these procedures were performed in 2 different time periods for each patient; before and after the treatment. The results were statistically evaluated using SPSS (SPSS Statistics v23.0 for Windows, Chicago, IL, USA).

Interventions

DEVICE

Clear aligner

The effects of treatment on periodontal parameters (plaque index, gingival index, bleeding index on probing), salivary parameters (stimulated/unstimulated flow rate, stimulated/unstimulated pH, buffering capacity) and oral microorganism counts (S. mitis, S. salivarius, S. mutans, C. albicans) of children treated with labiolingual spring hawley and clear aligners were investigated.

DEVICE

Labiolingual spring hawley

The effects of treatment on periodontal parameters (plaque index, gingival index, bleeding index on probing), salivary parameters (stimulated/unstimulated flow rate, stimulated/unstimulated pH, buffering capacity) and oral microorganism counts (S. mitis, S. salivarius, S. mutans, C. albicans) of children treated with labiolingual spring hawley and clear aligners were investigated.
