Abstract

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of dental caries and periodontal diseases among adolescent subjects receiving orthodontic treatment in a dental institute. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Orthodontics and Orthopaedics, Coorg Institute of Dental Sciences, Virajpet, among 12-18-year-old subjects receiving orthodontic treatment from Coorg Institute of Dental Sciences, Virajpet. The data collected was coded and analysed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 21). Descriptive statistics included the frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. RESULTS Incidence of dental caries was found to be 100 % (90) and incidence of gingival bleeding was found to be 100 % (90) among subjects receiving orthodontic treatment. About 94 % of study subjects did not have any oral mucosal conditions while 6 % study subjects had oral mucosal conditions. CONCLUSIONS The results showed that there was a high incidence of dental problems such as dental caries and periodontal disease among orthodontic patients while incidence of oral mucosal conditions was found to be 6 %. Orthodontic practitioners should stress upon the importance of maintaining proper oral hygiene to their patients. Hence, periodic evaluation is necessary to diagnose and treat these diseases at an early stage. KEY WORDS Caries, Periodontal Diseases, Incidence, Orthodontics, Dental Institute
