THE IMPACT OF TRILON-B ELECTROPHORESIS ON PATIENTS' ORAL HYGIENE AFTER COMPLETION OF COMPREHENSIVE ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
Modern orthodontic dentistry offers a wide range of treatment options for malocclusions. Removable appliances, aligners, and fixed braces are still popular. Due to their affordability, reliability, and effectiveness, fixed braces are the most common method of orthodontic treatment worldwide. However, maintaining satisfactory oral hygiene while wearing braces is challenging for patients and requires strict discipline. The risk of developing dental caries and periodontal inflammation in orthodontic patients is known to increase by 20–80% due to the deterioration of oral hygiene associated with this treatment method. It should be emphasized that braces themselves are safe, bioinert, and do not directly contribute to the development of pathologies. However, their components act as retention points for food debris and microorganisms, preventing access to all tooth surfaces when brushing or using a special brush. This study demonstrated that Trilon-B (Na₂H₂EDTA) electrophoresis accelerates comprehensive orthodontic treatment, which also helps maintain satisfactory oral hygiene in patients by reducing the exposure time to the aforementioned risk factors. This technique is based on Trilon-B's ability to locally decalcify alveolar bone tissue, thereby creating a zone of reduced bone resistance, facilitating and accelerating orthodontic tooth movement. Based on the OHIS index, patients who received orthodontic treatment in combination with Trilon-B electrophoresis demonstrated better oral hygiene than those treated using the traditional method. These findings open the door to the introduction of this method into clinical practice as an effective means of optimizing orthodontic treatment.
