EFFECTS OF TWO DIFFERENT PERIODONTAL RECALL PROGRAMS ON ORAL HYGIENE AND GINGIVAL HEALTH OF PATIENTS UNDERGOING FIXED ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT:A YEAR FOLLOW UP
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare the effects of two different periodontal recall programs on gingival health of patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment.
Materials and Methods: Fifty-four adolescents (25 female and 29 male, mean age is 15,19 ± 0,4 years), who will be undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment, were divided into two equal groups (Group 1, Group 2). Group 1 was selected for periodontal recall program consisting of three-month intervals, and Group 2 was selected for periodontal recall program consisting of four-week intervals. The periodontal parameters (plaque index [PI], gingival index [GI] and bleeding on probing [BOP]) were recorded at the baseline and at the all recall appointments during one year.
Results: All periodontal parameters showed a significant increase from the baseline to the first recall appointment for either group (P<0,01). Group 2 had significantly lower PI, GI and BOP values than Group 1 at all recall appointments (P<0,01).
Conclusions: This study emphasized that periodontal recall program consisting of four-week intervals seemed to be more successful than the recall program consisting of three-month intervals in terms of periodontal health of patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment.

Sabit Ortodontik Tedavi Gören Hastalarda İki Farklı Periodontal Takip Programının Oral Hijyen ve Dişeti Sağlığına Etkisi: Bir Yıllık Takip
ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı iki farklı periodontal takip programının, sabit ortodontik tedavi gören hastaların dişeti sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerini karşılaştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Ortodontik tedavi gören 54 hasta (25 kadın and 29 erkek, ortalama yaş: 15,19 ± 0,4 yıl) Grup 1 ve Grup 2 olarak iki eşit gruba ayrıldı. Dört haftalık aralıklardan oluşan periodontal takip programı için Grup 2 seçilirken, Grup 1 için üç aylık aralıklardan oluşan periodontal takip programı seçildi. Periodontal parametreler (Plak İndeksi, Gingival İndeks ve Sondlamada Kanama) başlangıçta ve 1 yıl boyunca tüm takip randevularında kaydedildi.
Bulgular: Her iki grupta da başlangıçtan ilk takip randevusuna kadar tüm periodontal parametrelerde anlamlı artış gözlendi (P<0,01). Grup 2’deki plak indeksi, gingival indeks ve sondlamada kanama Grup 1’e göre tüm takip randevularında anlamlı düzeyde düşüktü (P<0,01).
Sonuç: Bu çalışma ortodontik tedavi gören hastalarda periodontal sağlık yönünden dört haftalık aralıkları içeren periodontal takip programının üç aylık aralıklarla takip edilen programa göre daha başarılı olduğunu vurgulamaktadır.
