ABSTRACTObjective:To determine whether automated text messages sent daily to adolescent orthodontic patients improves oral hygiene more than weekly reminders.Materials and Methods:A blinded, prospective, randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the effects of automated messages on oral hygiene. Subjects were recruited from patients undergoing orthodontic treatment at the Texas A&M University College of Dentistry, Department of Orthodontics. They were being treated with a variety of fixed full appliances in both arches. Subjects were randomly assigned to either a once-a-week text message group or a daily text message group. There were 52 females and 27 males who were 12 to 17 years of age. Oral hygiene was measured at the beginning of the study and again 8.6 ± 0.9 weeks later.Results:The daily reminder group (N = 42) had significantly greater improvements in oral hygiene compliance than the weekly reminder group (N = 37). The daily score decreases were 48%, 21% and 19% for the bleeding index (BI), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI), respectively. The weekly score decreases were 27%, 14% and 13% for the BI, PI, and GI. There were no sex differences in hygiene changes during the study. The 42% of patients who completed the survey at the end of the study wanted more frequent messages and reported that messages related to decreasing treatment time were the most effective, while those related to oral hygiene were the least effective.Conclusions:Daily text messages are more effective at improving oral hygiene than weekly text messages.

Abstract Objective: To determine the most appropriate oral hygiene motivation method (OHMM) for orthodontic patients with fixed appliances. Materials and Methods: A total of 150 orthodontic patients, scheduled for their regular controls, were included in this study. The patients were divided into five groups (n = 30) according to the verbal OHMM and instructed as follows: only verbal information (V), verbal information with demonstration on model (M), verbal information with demonstration on model and self application by the patient (M+A), verbal information using the illustration catalog (I), and verbal information using the illustration catalog and self application by the patient (I+A). All of the applications of the patients were made under the supervision of the clinicians. The periodontal parameters (plaque index [PI], gingival index [GI], and bleeding on probing [BOP]) were recorded at the baseline (before the instructions of the OHMM), 1 week later, and 4 weeks after the OHMM. Results: All periodontal parameters showed significant decreases after 4 weeks in all OHMM groups (P < .05). I+A group has significantly lower PI scores and BOP percentages than the other groups (P < .05) after 4 weeks. The difference between the V group and M+A, I, and I+A groups in the GI scores were significant (P < .05), and the I+A group has presented the lowest GI score. Conclusions: The OHMM applied by the patients under the supervision of the clinician seemed to be more successful in the elimination of plaque and inflammatory symptoms in patients with fixed appliances.

Background: Oral hygiene maintenance becomes difficult during fixed orthodontic treatment.Objective: The aim of this study was to assess Gingival Bleeding Index among patients treated with fixed orthodontic appliances in a tertiary level hospital.Metanitil and Methody: This study was conducted on 100 patients treated with fixed orthodontic appliances for more than six months in the OPD of Orthodontics Department at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from July 2013 to July 2014. All the information related to oral hygiene maintenance like brushing, dental floss use, use of mout hwash during treatment in the OPD were recorded. The Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI) was calculated and recorded. Apart from this, frequency of brushing, type of tooth brush, technique of brushing and inter dental brush were also considered.Result: Over all mean value of GBI was 23.44±17.00. Mean value of GBI was 26.44 ± 15.23 among patients who brushed their teeth once a day but it was decreased gradually as the patients increased frequency of toot hbrush use per day and became 11.55±4.71 among the patients who brushed their teeth thrice a day. Mean value of GBI was 23.46±17.18 who did not use dental floss and 22.85 (12.64) who used dental floss once a day. Mean value of GBI was 25.30±17.73 who used inter dental brush irregularly but 2.75±0.35 who used it thrice a day. Mean value of GBI was25.17±17.69 who did not use mouth wash whereas it reduced to 8.00±0.00 among them who used mouth wash thrice a day.Conclusion: The Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI) is increased in patients treated with fixed orthodontic appliances.KYAMC Journal Vol. 9, No.-3, October 2018, Page 129-132
