Introduction: The placement of orthodontic appliances influences plaque growth and maturation. Significant differences in biofilm formation and periodontal reaction between different bracket types and between bonded teeth compared with control teeth have been reported, however, have reported significant attachment loss during orthodontic treatment.
In patients with a history of periodontitis resulting in displaced teeth, possible orthodontic tooth movements include changes in alignment, space redistribution, and intrusion.
Aim: To see the changes in clinical periodontal parameters after removal of fixed orthodontic appliances.
After debonding of braket at dental clinic and before final polishing, probing depth (PD), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and bleeding on probing (BOP) were assessed on the first molars and central incisors of both arches.
Result: Probing depth decreased in the right maxillary first molar. Plaque index and gingival index also got deceased. Bleeding on Probing reduced significantly.
Conclusion: Buccal probing depth returned to < 3>
