The study aims to assess the periodontal health status of Saudi patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment.
Selected 50 patients aged 12-26 from orthodontic clinics in Riyadh.
Evaluated periodontal health using plaque index, orthodontic plaque index, and gingival bleeding index.
Measured responses before treatment, and at 6 and 12 months after the placement of fixed appliances.
Mean plaque index was 65.24 ± 16.43 and orthodontic plaque index was 53.56 ± 8.74.
Average gingival bleeding index was lower at 19.14 ± 7.95.
Probing pocket depth increased from 1.5-2.0 mm after 6 months to 2.0-2.5 mm after 12 months.
