Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1) Patients belonging to the age group of 16-35 years belonging to both sexes. 2) Patient requiring the need for placement of anterior bite turbo for at least duration of 12 months during fixed orthodontic treatment. 3) Good oral hygiene. 4) No history of any systemic diseases. 5) No pharmacological treatment or antibiotic therapy during or up to 4 months before the study which may affect the gingival tissues. 6) No enlargement of incisive papilla or high frenal attachment in relation to central incisors.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) Patients with history of missing maxillary central incisors. 2) Patients with history of smoking. 3) Pregnant women. 4) Patient with pocket depth of 4 mm with radiographic bone loss. 5) Patients having extensive dental restorations (such as crowns or bridges) in relation to maxillary central incisors. 6) Patients having plaque stagnation areas ( such as removable partial dentures) in relation to maxillary central incisors .

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the quantitative changes in plaque accumulation (using Sillness and L e Plaque Index) around the maxillary central incisors with anterior bite turbos taken at four intervals - T0, T1, T2, T3 AND T4 to identify the changes in periodontium and oral hygiene status.Timepoint: T0-baseline (Before the placement of anterior anterior bite turbo) T1 (6 weeks) after the placement of anterior bite turbo, T2 (3 months) after the placement of anterior bite turbo, T3 (6 months) after the placement of anterior bite turbo, and T4 (12 months) after the placement of anterior bite turbo.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To evaluate changes in probing pocket depth around the maxillary central incisors with anterior bite turbo from T0 to T4 to detect changes in periodontal pocket depth. 2.To examine bleeding on probing from T0 to T4 to detect gingival inflammatory response due to plaque retention. 3.To evaluate gingival enlargement from T0 to T4 to detect chronic inflammatory adaptation caused by anterior bite turbo 4.Determination of success rate of anterior bite turbos, including assessment of debonding, fracture, or need for replacement. Timepoint: T0-baseline(Before the placement of anterior anterior bite turbo) T1-6 weeks after the placement of anterior bite turbo T2-3 months after the placement of anterior bite turbo T3-6 months after the placement of anterior bite turbo T4-12 months after the placement of anterior bite turbo
