| Back ground/Aim: Orthodontic treatment enables the establishment of functional occlusion and improvement of oral health, however, it increases the risk of periodontal disease development through plaque retention and difficulty of keeping a good oral hygiene. So the present study was performed to evaluate the periodontal health status and determination of treatment need among Iraqi orthodontic patients wearing fixed appliance. Material and method: A total number of 224 orthodontic patients wearing fixed appliance were enrolled in the study. They were attending Al-Mustansiria teaching hospital at college of dentistry/Al-Mustansiria University /department of orthodontics, pedodontics and preventive dentistry for follow up visits of their orthodontic fixed appliances in addition to the patients attending the private clinic of the researchers. Evaluation the periodontal health status and determination of treatment need were achieved using CPITN (Community Periodontal Index for Treatment Need), the degree of gingival enlargement and high frenal attachment. The sample was divided into 2 groups according to age factor (adolescents and adults). Results: The total number & percentages of CPITN scores for the total sample were calculated. The highest number and percentage were of (scores 0, 1 &2), {258 (19.19 %), 250 (18.60 %) & 800 (59.52 %)} respectively with highly significant difference of score 2 from other scores. The percentages of scores (0, 1 & 2) in the two age groups (adolescents and adults). The percentages of scores (0, 1 & 2) in the adolescents were (17.32 %, 20.47 % & 60.67 %) respectively with highly significant difference of score 2. The percentages of scores (0, 1 & 2) in the adults were (30.51 %, 27.69% and 39.90 %) respectively with significant difference of score 2. The treatment need for the whole sample was 100% for codes 1 and 2 of treatment need ( oral health instructions & scaling and root planing) also these codes of treatment were higher than other codes significantly, especially code 3 (complex treatment, deep scaling ,surgical intervention) in adolescents and adults were (4.5% and 3%) respectively. Regarding the gingival enlargement the numbers and percentages of the enlargement scores (0, 1, 2 & 3) of the total sample were 115 (43%), 85 (31%), 52 (19%) and 14 (5.26%) respectively | ||
