“…Porém, a comparação entre as avaliações do IHOS-1 e IHOS-2 em cada gênero demonstrou que apenas no gênero feminino houve redução significativa do valor do IHOS (p = 0,003), ou seja, houve melhora nas condições de higiene bucal. Ensaios, v. 24, n. 3, p. 211-218, 2020 Quadro 5 -Média e desvio padrão do IHOS 1 e 2 em relação ao gênero Os aparelhos ortodônticos estão associados ao maior acúmulo de biofilme, pela dificuldade de higienização dos acessórios (MEI, L et al 2017;THEnARASU;GURUnATHAn;CHAnDRASEKAR, 2018;VELLIYAGOUnDER et al, 2019), porém mesmo que dois indivíduos do estudo (4,65%) tenham colocado aparelho fixo no decorrer das avaliações, os resultados ainda se mostraram positivos, sendo observada redução significante no índice. Por outro lado, nenhuma criança removeu o aparelho, entre as avaliações, o que poderia interferir na avaliação da quantidade de placa entre os dois momentos, podendo apresentar valores menores do índice.…”

Para evitar doenças como cárie dentária e problemas periodontais é importante estimular hábitos de higiene bucal adequados para que o biofilme seja eficientemente removido pelos indivíduos. O presente estudo objetivou-se a comparar o índice de higiene bucal de um grupo de crianças antes e após estratégias motivacionais de higiene bucal e promoção de saúde. A amostra foi constituída por 43 crianças, 10 a 15 anos, de uma escola pública. Os dentes foram evidenciados com fucsina e o índice de Higiene Oral Simplificado (IHOS) foi avaliado, por um único pesquisador, 7 dias antes (IHOS-1) e 60 dias após (IHOS-2) a uma estratégia de motivação educacional em saúde bucal. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se GraphPad Prism 6 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, EUA), teste de normalidade D’Agostino & Pearson seguido do teste Wilcoxon para dados não paramétricos, e para paramétricos teste T-Student. Foi possível observar uma redução significativa da presença de biofilme (p = 0,028), principalmente no dente 26 (p = 0,023), enfatizando que após a realização de estratégias de promoção de saúde bucal são eficazes. Tanto no IHOS-1 quanto no IHOS-2, a arcada superior foi a arcada com maior presença de biofilme evidenciado (p < 0,001). Em relação aos gêneros, não houve diferença significante entre cada avaliação, no entanto, o gênero feminino apresentou redução significante dos valores do índice (p = 0,003). Conclui-se que as estratégias educativas- motivacionais, tendo como foco o controle do biofilme dental, impactaram positivamente na prática de higiene bucal pelos escolares. Palavras-chave: Crianças.

Abstract To avoid diseases such as dental caries and periodontal problems, it is important to encourage oral hygiene habits, so that biofilm is efficiently removed by individual. This study aimed to compare the oral hygiene index of a group of children before and after motivational strategies for oral hygiene and health promotion. The sample consisted of 43 children, 10 to 15 years old, from a public school. The teeth were evidenced with fuchsin and the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (IHOS) was evaluated, by a single researcher, 7 days before (IHOS-1) and 60 days after (IHOS-2) to an educational motivation strategy in oral health. For data analysis, GraphPad Prism 6 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) was used, D’Agostino & Pearson normality test followed by the Wilcoxon test for non-parametric data, and for parametric T-Student test. It was possible to observe a significant reduction in the presence of biofilm (p = 0.028), mainly in tooth 26 (p = 0.023), emphasizing that after carrying out oral health promotion strategies, they are effective. In both IHOS-1 and IHOS-2, the upper arch was the arch with the highest presence of biofilm evidenced (p <0.001). Regarding genders, there was no significant difference between each evaluation, however, the female gender showed a significant reduction in the index values (p = 0.003). It is concluded that educational-motivational strategies, focusing on the control of dental biofilm, had a positive impact on the practice of oral hygiene by students. Keywords: Child. Oral Health.

Good oral hygiene is an important factor in oral and general health, especially in orthodontic patients, because fixed appliances might impede effective oral hygiene and thus increase the risks of tooth decay, periodontal disease and general health complications. This study investigated the impact of fixed orthodontic appliances on the distribution of dental biofilm in teenagers. Supragingival plaque was assessed at T0, T1 and T2. The distribution of the biofilm was analyzed. Approximal Plaque Index (API) and Bonded Bracket Index (BBI) were used to measure the presence of dental plaque. After insertion of the fixed appliance, the dental plaque indices values in the orthodontically treated group were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than in the control group. Fixed orthodontic appliances caused significant changes in the distribution of the biofilm. This was characterized by the change of location of the dental plaque. In the orthodontic group, we observed an increase in the amount of the supragingival plaque on the vestibular surface of the teeth.

The current study aims to measure the variations of the mesiodistal width of permanent teeth in a sample of patients attending Ajman University Dental Hospital. Materials and Method: A Descriptive cross-sectional study of 85 pretreatment study casts of patients (M:33, F:52) aged between 11-38 attending the Orthodontic unit at Ajman University Dental Hospital. The samples were selected randomly for measurements, which were performed using an electronic digital calibre. The width of an individual tooth is measured accurately from the mesial contact point to the distal contact point. The measurement was performed for all the 12 maxillary and mandibular teeth (from 16 to 26 and 36 to 46). The data put up in an excel sheet and sent to the statistician for analysis. Results: Class I and II showed a higher overall ratio and anterior ratio in males with no difference between the gender neither in the anterior or the overall ratio. At the same time, Class III malocclusion had a significant difference in both overall and anterior ratios. The maxillary 1st premolars and 2nd premolars teeth have insignificant mesiodistal differences between genders, while the maxillary canine and the 2nd premolar have a significant difference between right and left quadrants. The mandibular teeth showed no significant difference in mesiodistal width between right and left quadrants. Conclusion: The insignificant difference between the sample and Bolton in the anterior and posterior ratios in Class I & II cases explain the similarity of the racial feature. There is a significant difference in Class III between our sample and the Bolton original work.
