Clinical evaluation of the solid dental tissues in orthodontic management

Abstract

Analysis of hard tissue of teeth in 25 patients with ZČA at the stages of orthodontic treatment. Determined by the hygiene index (OHI-S), the intensity of caries, the enamel using sitting drops. Wetting angle measured in degrees. On a dry tooth surface put out pipetočnogo dispenser drop of distilled water 3–5 μl using intraoral video cameras perform photos surface of the tooth with the straw and the computer programme (MB-Ruler) is the measurement of the contact angle. Found a statistically significant reduction in oral hygiene and reducing the angle of wetting of enamel on the stage of treatment using orthodontic brackets and after completion of treatment. The results show the impact of fixed orthodontic designs on hydrophobicity of enamel that is recorded to reduce the angle of wetting during treatment and may indicate a preclinical stage of demineralization of tooth enamel.
