Periodontal Parameters in Orthodontic Patients With Stainless Steel &

Status Enrolling by invitation

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to assess if there are significant differences in periodontal conditions between patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment with stainless steel or ceramic brackets. For this study, patients will be enrolled and divided into two groups, according to the type of brackets (stainless steel or ceramic) used for orthodontic treatment. A professional supragingival and subgingival oral hygiene will be performed before the bonding of the orthodontic brackets together with a periodontal evaluation will be recording the following periodontal indices: PPD, BoP, BS, GI, PI, BEWE and Schiff Air Index. Indices will be recorded after 1, 3 and 6 months after the bonding, separately for both in maxillary and in mandibular dental arches and only for teeth with brackets bonded.

Clinical Trial Description

This clinical trial aims to investigate if there are significant differences in periodontal conditions between patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment with stainless steel or ceramic brackets. Patients recruited for the study will be asked to sign the informed consent. Parents will sign the consent for underage patients. A professional supragingival and subgingival oral hygiene will be performed before the bonding of the orthodontic brackets; a piezoelectric instrument and Gracey curettes will be used. After that, patients will be divided into two groups: - Group MET: stainless steel brackets will be bonded on the vestibular surfaces of teeth. - Group CER: ceramic brackets will be bonded on the vestibular surfaces of teeth. Before the bonding on maxillary dental arch, a periodontal evaluation will be conducted recording the following periodontal indices: PPD, BoP, BS, GI, PI, BEWE and Schiff Air Index. Indices will be recorded after 1, 3 and 6 months after the bonding, separately for both in maxillary and in mandibular dental arches. Only teeth with brackets bonded will be considered. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
