Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Streptococcus mutans colony count. Timepoint: At baseline (3 to 6 months after orthodontic treatment) and 21 days after intervention. Method of measurement: Swab specimen culture from cervical enamel of second premolars and central incisors of both mandibles adjacent to brackets.;Lactobacilli colony count. Timepoint: At baseline (3 to 6 months after orthodontic treatment) and 21 days after intervention. Method of measurement: Swab specimen culture from cervical enamel of second premolars and central incisors of both mandibles adjacent to brackets.;Modified gingival index (MGI). Timepoint: At baseline (3 to 6 months after orthodontic treatment) and 21 days after intervention. Method of measurement: The labial/facial surfaces of the gingiva and the interdental papillae of the desired teeth are examined and rated for inflammation from zero (no inflammation) to 4 (severe inflammation).;Gingival bleeding Index (BI). Timepoint: At baseline (3 to 6 months after orthodontic treatment) and 21 days after intervention. Method of measurement: The probe is carefully inserted into the pocket of the desired tooth, gently moving sideways to the wall of the pocket, and scored based on its bleeding time. In case of no bleeding within 30 seconds, score is zero, in case of bleeding within 30 seconds, score is 1 and in case of immediate bleeding, score is 2. | — |
