| description | Introduction: Enamel demineralisation is often seen in patients
undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment because appliances
create retentive areas around the brackets leading to food debris
accumulation. The method of ligation is also an additional factor
in causing plaque accumulation leading to demineralisation
around the brackets.
Aim: The present study aims to compare enamel demineralisation
around self-ligation brackets and conventional ligation brackets
at the 3rd month and 12th month of orthodontic treatment using
laser fluorescence.
Materials and Methods: The present prospective study aims to
compare enamel demineralisation around self-ligation brackets
(Damon 3mx) and conventional ligation brackets (Gemini 3M)
at the 3rd month and 12th month of orthodontic treatment using
laser fluorescence. Nineteen subjects who were scheduled
for fixed orthodontic treatment were selected for the study
and were divided into two groups that is conventional ligation
and passive self-ligation. Diagnodent (DD) was used to take
enamel demineralisation scores at the time of bonding (T0),
3 months (T1) and 12 months (T2) into treatment. All statistical
analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 20. Chi-square
test was performed to find the gender association, One-way
ANOVA test was carried out to evaluate the difference of DD
scores at time period T0, T1 and T2 in self-ligation group and
conventional ligation group and Independent t-test was carried
out to evaluate the difference of DD scores between self-ligation
brackets and conventional ligation at T0, T1 and T2.
Results: One-way ANOVA test reported that in conventional
ligation groups there was a statistically significant difference in
the mean DD scores between T0 and T1, T0 and T2 (p<0.05).
Similarly, in the self-ligation group, a statistically significant
difference was observed in the mean DD score between T0
and T1, T0 and T2 (p<0.05). Independent t-test to evaluate the
difference of mean DD scores between self-ligation brackets
and conventional ligation at T2 was found to be statistically
non-significant (p>0.05). No gender association was noted.
Conclusion: The method of ligation did not influence enamel
demineralisation around orthodontic brackets. |
