Caries experience in orthodontically treated individuals.

P J Wisth, A Nord

    Summary

    Orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances and daily fluoride rinses significantly reduced caries experience in adolescents. Treated patients showed more intact tooth surfaces and fewer new lesions compared to controls.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Cariology

    Background:

    • Dental caries remains a significant public health concern, particularly in adolescents.
    • Orthodontic treatment can alter oral hygiene practices and caries risk.
    • Preventive measures during orthodontic care are crucial for long-term oral health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the caries experience in adolescents after orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances.
    • To compare caries prevalence between treated patients and a control group.
    • To assess the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment and fluoride rinses on caries prevention.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort study design comparing orthodontic patients (n=52) with a control group (n=111).
    • Caries experience assessed 1.5-2 years post-treatment using DMF-surface data.
    • Patients received regular hygiene instructions and daily 0.05% sodium fluoride rinses.

    Main Results:

    • The treated group exhibited a lower overall caries experience.
    • Significantly more intact surfaces were observed on maxillary molars, premolars, canines, incisors, and mandibular molars/premolars in the treated group.
    • Fewer new lesions were noted on upper second molars and mesial/distal surfaces in treated children.

    Conclusions:

    • Orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances, combined with fluoride rinses, is associated with reduced caries experience.
    • Preventive strategies during orthodontic treatment can effectively protect against dental caries.
    • Maintaining good oral hygiene and using fluoride are vital for caries prevention in orthodontic patients.
