Assessment of Oral Hygiene Index in Patients Undergoing Orthodontic Treatment

Priya Lochana Gajendran, Aishwarya Reddy

Background: Oral hygiene is an important factor controlled by the patient during orthodontic treatment, which can affect the quality and timing of the therapy. Previous studies have demonstrated a rapid decline in oral hygiene compliance after the initial bonding, and the appliance favors plaque accumulation and represents an obstruction to the hygiene procedures.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine and assess the oral hygiene index in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Materials and methods: A total of 997 patients who were subjected to orthodontic treatment were taken from April 2020 to March 2021.The data was collected from the patient management system. The data was collected and the analysis was done using “Statistical Package for the Social Sciences” by IBM version 23.

Results: Out the 997 patients, who underwent orthodontic treatment, 51.96% of the patients were males and 48.04% were females. 70.81% of the patients have got the fixed orthodontic appliance treatment and 29.19% of the patients underwent removable appliance treatment. 74.12% of the patients had “Good” OHIS interpretation, out of which 52.86% had fixed appliance and 21.26% had removable appliance.

Conclusion: Most of the patients who underwent orthodontic treatment had an oral hygiene index interpretation as “good” as the patients were given proper oral hygiene index instructions and the patients have followed them.
