dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in periodontal parameters solely using
free gingival grafts during orthodontic treatment without any oral hygiene re-enforcement. Methods:
A total of 19 patients underwent periodontal examination before orthodontic treatment. Patients
received oral hygiene instruction and professional hygiene therapy. Where needed; full periodontal
treatment was completed. Only periodontally stable patients were included in the study. Periodontal
indices and keratinized tissue were recorded at time 0 (T0) (delivery of orthodontic appliances), and at
three months (T1) during orthodontic therapy; when surgery was performed. At T1; orthodontically
treated sites with minimum keratinized tissue (≤1 mm) received a free gingival graft to enhance the
band of keratinized tissue. At three months after surgery (T2), new measurements were recorded.
The orthodontics-treated sites after three months (T1) were used as control. The same sites were
used as a test three months after mucogingival correction (T2). Between T1 and T2; orthodontics was
suspended; no professional oral hygiene was performed; and no additional oral hygiene instructions
were given to the patient. No oral hygiene procedures were administered for 15 months (T3), when the
final recordings were taken. Results: The results showed that there was a worsening of gingival index
(GI) and plaque index (PI) of the treated sites between T0 and T1 during initial orthodontics treatment;
whereas there was an improvement of the gingival inflammation at T2 when compared with T1.
At T2; there was also a statistically significant improvement in GI and PI compared with T0. A T3
improvement in periodontal parameters was sustained. A non-parametric test (Wilcoxon signed-rank
test) was used for statistical analysis. Conclusions: Augmentation of the width of keratinized gingiva;
as the sole treatment; favors the improvement of GI and PI during orthodontic therapy | es |
