Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria for this study involve patients with permanent dentition who present with specific types of malocclusion. Eligible participants must have Class 1 malocclusion with spacing and crowding within the range of 2-3 mm, as well as those with Class 2 Division 1 malocclusion. This selection ensures a uniform group for evaluating the effects of gold nanoparticle-coated thermoplastic orthodontic retainers on oral and gingival health.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Physically challenged patients. Cleft lip and Palate. Mentally challenged.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The study will evaluate gold nanoparticle-coated retainers for their effects on oral and gingival health and antimicrobial properties. We expect reductions in Porphyromonas gingivalis and Streptococcus mutans, improved gingival health, and positive feedback at 15 and 30 days. Comparative and statistical analyses will assess effectiveness and guide future research.Timepoint: The time points for this study are: Baseline (at retainer delivery) 15 days post-delivery 30 days post-delivery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary outcomes of the study will focus on patient experience and overall health, including comfort and satisfaction with the retainers, any changes in taste perception, and sensory feedback. Patient compliance and ease of use will be monitored, along with any adverse reactions such as allergies or irritation. The aesthetic appeal and its impact on patient confidence will be assessed. Additionally, the study will evaluate the longevity and durability of the gold nanoparticle-coated retainers. These outcomes will provide insights into the practicality, patient acceptance, and overall effectiveness of the retainers in real-world use.Timepoint: The secondary outcomes of the study will be assessed at multiple time points to gauge patient experience and overall health. Evaluations will be conducted at baseline, 15 days, and 30 days after retainer delivery. These assessments will include patient comfort and satisfaction, changes in taste perception, sensory feedback, compliance, ease of use, any adverse reactions, aesthetic appeal, and the longevity and durability of the retainers.
