Abstract

Objective To evaluate the periodontal implication of self-ligating brackets.Methods Thirty patients with malocclusion were randomly selected.The patients were divided into two groups:Group T1(self-ligating brackets,Damon3)and Group T2(3M Gemini MBT).A follow-up examination of mandibular incisor was carried out after three months and six months,respectively.The periodontal condition was scored according to three parameters:GI,PLI,OHI-S.Results Before treatment,the GI,PLI and OHI-S had no statistical difference.After 3 and 6 months respectively,GI,PLI and OHI-S were obviously lower than those of the control group,the difference having statistical significance.Conclusion Compared with traditional brackets,the self-ligating brackets are better for peridontal health.
