Study Notes
Microbial Risk Factors During Orthodontic Treatment
- Microbial populations in the oral cavity are complex, including bacteria, salivary polymers, water, and polysaccharides.
- 80-90% of plaque volume is water, 70% of dry weight is bacteria.
- Plaque builds up and hardens into calcified deposits over time.
- Orthodontic appliances can increase plaque buildup, therefore oral hygiene management is vital during treatment.
- Types of plaque (supragingival, subgingival, occlusal, enamel plaque) vary depending on oxygen levels, with subgingival plaque being more anaerobic and supragingival being richer in aerobic bacteria.
Dental Plaque Formation
- Plaque formation involves colonization/plaque maturation.
- The initial stages consist of initial adhesion followed by transport to the surface and establishment of strong attachments.
- The evolution of the plaque, if not removed, may lead to calcification.
- Various types of bacteria are related to different plaque types, such as occlusal, interproximal, and root caries.
Clinical Evaluation of Periodontal Status
- Measurements of gingival and plaque indices were taken at various time points during orthodontic treatment to evaluate periodontal health.
- The goal is to avoid harmful effects of orthodontic treatment on oral health.
- Relationship between periodontal disease and orthodontic treatment.
The Impact of Patients With Pre-existing Conditions
- Patients with various pre-existing conditions, such as gender, age, previous orthodontic history etc., are assessed for risks associated with orthodontic treatment.
- Patients with pre-existing conditions need careful assessment and management.
- Specific guidelines and recommendations are needed to maintain appropriate oral health in such conditions.
Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions
- Classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases are explained.
- Severity, complexity, and extent/distribution are important criteria for classifying the disease.
- Parameters such as CAL and RBL are used for assessing severity.
- Different stages of the disease show different complexity, therefore management will vary accordingly.
- The stage and complexity of the disease impacts the extent and distribution of the disease in the oral cavity.
- Specific description of each stage is included for clarity.
- The grading of the disease is associated with progression rate, response to therapy, and systemic health.
Periodontal Treatments
- Periodontal therapies such as SRP, gingival therapy, and other regular cleanings are needed to maintain good oral health during orthodontic treatment.
- Patients are monitored and reevaluated to assess the progression of the disease.
- Important to refer patients to appropriate specialists for care.
- Specific strategies for caries treatment and maintenance are recommended.
Caries
- Caries formation involves the dissolution of hydroxyapatite by acids produced from bacterial metabolism, particularly of carbohydrates like sucrose.
- The formation of caries is impacted by the initial presence of enamel defects, and lack of topical fluoride, but also with poor oral hygiene.
- Specific food and drink types are identified for their potential risk of caries development during or after orthodontic treatment
Relationship Between Orthodontics and Caries
- Orthodontic treatments may be associated with an increase in caries.
- Immature enamel and less oral hygiene in younger patients may increase risks.
- Relationship between caries and orthodontic treatment should be considered for patients with high caries risk.
- Use CAMBRA risk assessment tools to help evaluate patient risks.
Other Factors Affecting Oral Health During Orthodontic Treatment
- Patients with certain medical conditions may have increased or decreased risk of developing periodontal disease.
- Various factors such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, and diet may influence dental caries development and management.
- Proper oral hygiene and diet are important for overall oral health maintenance during orthodontic treatment.
- Monitoring and adherence to professional recommendations is essential.
- Management strategies are included for various conditions like diabetes, asthma, HIV, bleeding disorders, and more.
- Maintaining adequate oral hygiene is important for preventing diseases.
