Abstract
Background: Subgingival periodontal biofilm/plaque is accumulated with as Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (AA), Porphyromonas gingivalis (PG), Prevotella intermedia(PI), Tannerella forsythia(TF), and Treponema denticola(TD) causing periodontitis.
Aims and Objectives : The aim was to evaluate and compare the levels of Aggregatebacter actinomycetemcomitans(AA) and Porphyromonas gingivalis(PG) in the gingival crevicular fluids of the patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with PEA(MBT Prescription; 3M Unitek) and Passive Self-ligating Brackets(Damon Q; ORMCO).
Materials and Methods: The GCF was collected at baseline, 3 months and 6 months during the treatment from mesial and distal surfaces of mandibuar anterior teeth. GCF was evaluated for the presence of A. actinomycetemcomitans(AA), Porphyromonas gingivalis(PG) pathogens using real- time Polymerase chain reaction.
Results: Bacterial Count(CFU/ml) at baseline was 1.53 for both the bracket system, after 3 Months for P. gingivalis in MBT was 2.58±0.20×10 CFU/ml and A. actinomycetemcomitans; 2.19±0.42×10 CFU/ml. In SLB brackets P. gingivalis showed 2.09±0.4×10 CFU/ml and A. actinomycetemcomitans showed 1.58±0.42×10 CFU/ml. After 6 Months P. gingivalis showed 29.53±3.02×10 CFU/ml and A. actinomycetemcomitans showed 30.13±3.98×10 CFU/ml. In SLB brackets P. gingivalis showed 2.11±0.17×10 CFU/ml and A. actinomycetemcomitans showed 1.59±0.26×10 CFU/ml. SLB brackets exhibit lower DNA concentrations for both bacterial species compared to MBT brackets across all time.
Conclusion: MBT brackets consistently exhibit higher bacterial counts compared to SLB brackets across all timelines, indicating a potentially greater propensity for bacterial colonization and biofilm formation. P. gingivalis and A. actinomycetemcomitans exhibit increased DNA concentrations over time, with the MBT brackets generally showing higher DNA concentrations compared to the SLB brackets.
