INTRODUCTION: Fixed appliances have become an integral part of comprehensive orthodontic treatment as versatile tools that enable three-dimensional control of tooth movement. Fixed appliances are appliances that are attached to the teeth by cement or an adhesive material. Aligner is where an orthodontist or dentist, takes a mold of the patient's teeth and it is used to create a computerized tooth scan. The computerized model suggests stages between the current and desired teeth positions and aligners are created for each stage. The aim of the study is to estimate the pH and microbial change in conventional fixed appliances and aligners among patients undergoing orthodontic treatment in private dental colleges. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The subjects were asked to spit and the samples which were collected from each group using sterile containers and then for the microbial check it was streaked on different types of media such as Blood agar, Chocolate agar, MacConkey agar and Sabouraud media and it was then incubated aerobically for 24 hours at 37°C. The obtained saliva was put in 100ml of distilled water and litmus paper was dipped inside to observe the colour change for pH and the values were noted and analysed. RESULTS: The pH change was similar for both the groups, but the microbial change was comparatively less in case of aligners. CONCLUSION: The study had reported a low frequency of microbial change in aligners. This can be attributed to better hygiene practices and less plaque accumulation in aligners compared to the fixed appliances. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
