Brief Summary:
Bacterial plaque is the primary etiological factor for periodontal disease ranging from mild gingival inflammation to severe periodontitisThe fixed appliance can alter the microbial composition of the oral environmentPatients who wear fixed braces must perform optimum oral hygiene techniques using a regular toothbrush alone for plaque removal is important but it is not adequatethereforean Adjunctive Plaque Control such as inter dental brush single tufted brush and water irrigator are helpfulthe objective of this study To compare the efficacy of water irrigator single tufted and interdental brush in reducing gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation and To determine the profile of the salivary MIF at base line visit and after 4 weeks of the study
Detailed Description:
Bacterial plaque has been widely demonstrated to be the primary etiological factor for periodontal disease ranging from mild gingival inflammation to severe periodontitis
The fixed appliance can alter the microbial composition of the oral environment promoting bacterial plaque retention decreasing self-cleaning skills and causing gingival infection or enamel decalcification as well as white spot lesions with soft-tissue recession and tooth abrasionPatients who wear fixed braces must perform optimum oral hygiene techniques to avoid a variety of problems including as caries enamel demineralization gingivitis gingival hyperplasia and periodontitis
Plaque removal using a toothbrush is an efficient way to prevent decalcification However it is unclear whether using a regular toothbrush alone is adequate for plaque removal Some authorities have suggested for the use of interdentalinterspace brushes to eliminate plaque from hard to reach places There is some evidence show that interdental brushes decrease plaque in interdental regions in patients with pocketing interdental spaces and bridges However interspace and interdental brushes are small-headed toothbrushes with bristles that can clean small regions that standard toothbrushes cannot reach
The removal of plaque has been proven to be safe and efficient with water flossers as reported by the American Dental Association ADA A water flosser can also minimize gingivitisSingle-tufted toothbrushes are suggested for cleaning free surfaces and parts of the teeth that are difficult to reach with other oral hygiene tools
