“…In the present study, the preponderance of females was 64% with males comprising 46% of the study sample. These findings are similar to many previous studies globally[ 11 12 13 14 ] and many other studies conducted in Saudi Arabia. [ 3 8 15 16 ] This might be explained by that females concern more about esthetics and good occlusion compared to males and having an increased demand for orthodontic treatment.…”

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the level of oral hygiene awareness and practice among orthodontic patients that have fixed appliances and investigate the differences in awareness as per age, gender, and education qualification. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study with 250 patients was included. A questionnaire was used to collect information regarding the patient's oral hygiene. RESULTS: The level of awareness and oral hygiene practice was significantly higher among females, with a consistent stepwise increase toward older ages. Also, increased with higher education level, longer duration since getting the appliance, and receiving instructions from the orthodontist. CONCLUSIONS: Oral hygiene instructions received by the orthodontist play an important role in the patient's awareness level. Also, many predictors have a significant effect on the patient's cooperation in practicing oral hygiene measures.

“…Another study in India covering a number of 90 subjects (44 males and 46 females) aged 12 to 18 years undergoing orthodontic therapy indicated a 100% prevalence of periodontal changes [19]. The results of this research on the prevalence of periodontal changes occurring in patients wearing fixed orthodontic appliances are similar to those of the study conducted in India.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of periodontal changes in children with malocclusions from Olt and Gorj Counties, Romania. Materials and Method: In this research direction, we took into account: gender (male and female), the place of origin (rural and urban), the classes of maloccusions (according to Angle’s classification) and the existence or not of fixed orthodontic appliances. The study included a number of 4508 children, aged between 6 and 14 years. The data were collected from December 2019 to February 2020, based on the project „Educație pentru sănătate orală. Cercetări privind anomaliile dento-maxilare și leziunile odonto-parodontale la școlarii din Oltenia”, in which several institutions were involved. In order to perform complex statistical tests (Z-test for proportions, Chi-squared test), commands from the XLSTAT module were used. The study was interrupted before it was completed due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Results: We noted that there is a highly significant difference (p<0.001) between the presence of periodontal changes in children treated with fixed orthodontic appliances (88.36%), respectively without orthodontic treatments (12.37%). Also, we found that there is a highly significant difference (p<0.001) between the presence of changes in the periodontium in children with malocclusions (29.9%), respectively without malocclusions (4.92%). Conclusion: After this research, we concluded that are differences between the presence of periodontal changes in children undergoing treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances, respectively without orthodontic treatments and also between the presence of periodontal changes in children with maloccusions, respectively without malocclusions.

Background This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward oral health management among orthodontic patients. Methods A cross-sectional study on orthodontic patients was conducted at Suzhou Dushu Lake Hospital from December 20, 2023, to March 19, 2024. Demographic data and KAP scores were collected using self-designed questionnaires. The cutoff for adequate KAP dimension scores was 70%. Results The study included 418 orthodontic patients, of whom 274 (65.55%) were female, and 144 (34.45%) were male. The average age was 32.70 ± 8.47 years (33.72 ± 8.46 in females and 32.17 ± 8.44 in males). The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 11.80 ± 4.06 (possible range: 0–16), 27.00 ± 3.18 (possible range: 6–30), and 31.13 ± 6.01 (possible range: 8–40), respectively. The proportions of participants who scored above a cutoff of 70% were 247 (59.09%) for knowledge, 403 (96.41%) for attitude, and 290 (69.38%) for practice. Multivariate logistic regression showed that knowledge score (OR = 1.243, 95% CI: [1.152–1.342], P < 0.001), attitude score (OR = 1.255, 95% CI: [1.140–1.381], P < 0.001), and wearing an appliance for 3 to 6 months (OR = 4.309, 95% CI: [1.565–11.861], P = 0.005) were independently linked to proactive practice. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that knowledge directly influenced attitude (β = 0.684, P < 0.001) and practice (β = 0.527, P < 0.001), while attitude had a direct impact on practice (β = 0.587, P < 0.001). Conclusions The majority of orthodontic patients demonstrated adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practices toward oral health management. Nonetheless, continuous education is still essential for certain groups, such as recently fitted orthodontic patients, to ensure sustained improvement in oral health outcomes.
