ABSTRACT
Objective:
To study the changes of oral health indexes in adolescent orthodontic patients under different brushing time, and to provide basis for the orthodontists to give effective dental health promotion in clinic.Methods:
A total of 123 adolescent orthodontic patients were included, and they were divided into 1-3min, 3-5 min, 5-7 min and 7-10 min groups based on the brushing time recorded in the period of orthodontic treatment.The relationship between different brushing time and oral health indexes was evaluated 1,3,and 6 months after experiment, such as sulcus bleeding index(SBI),plaque index(PLI), debris index-simplified(DI-S) and enamel demineralization index(EDI).Results:
Compared with 1-3 min and 3-5 min groups, the SBI, PLI, and DI-S of the patients in 5-7 min group were significantly reduced(P0.05).Conclusion:
Brushing teeth more than 5 min can improve the oral hygiene significantly and the best time is 5-7 min;the orthodontists should require the patients to brush teeth at least for 5 min.
