[Effect of special oral care mode on periodontal health in adolescent orthodontic patients].

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of special oral care mode on periodontal health of adolescent orthodontic patients. METHODS: From January 2019 to January 2020, one hundred adolescent orthodontic patients who received treatment in our hospital were randomly divided into experimental group and control group according to the principle of completely random number table, with 50 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were given routine oral care, while those in the experimental group were given special oral care; three months later, the periodontal health status of the two groups were compared using SPSS 21.0 software package. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in PLI and GI between the two groups before treatment (P＞0.05). After treatment, PLI and GI in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01). There was no significance difference in SBI and EDI before treatment between the two groups(P＞0.05). After treatment, SBI and EDI in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01). There was no significant difference in the scores of periodontal health knowledge before treatment between the two groups(P＞0.05). After treatment, the scores of the two groups were significantly increased(P＜0.01), and the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P＜0.01). The patients' satisfaction in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (90.00% vs 72.00%, P=0.022). CONCLUSIONS: Special oral care mode can significantly improve periodontal health status of adolescent orthodontic patients.
