The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of orthodontic treatment and fixed retainers with gingival health.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> The study included 92 consecutive subjects who arrived for routine dental examination at a military dental clinic between May and August 2007. Plaque and gingival indices, gingival recession, probing depth, and bleeding on probing were measured at the anterior sextants. When a fixed retainer was present, the distance was measured between the retainer and incisal edge and to the cemento\u2010enamel junction. Past orthodontic treatment and smoking habits were self\u2010reported. Postorthodontic patients were sorted by the presence or absence of fixed retainers.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The mean probing depth was 1.90 \u00b1 0.2 mm, and gingival recession was 0.06 \u00b1 0.02 mm; 20.8% of all sites exhibited bleeding on probing. Current smoking was reported by 20 (21.7%) patients. Labial gingival recession was significantly greater in treated (0.13 \u00b1 0.2 mm) patients compared to non\u2010treated patients (0.05 \u00b1 0.2 mm; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.03). Localized lingual gingival recession was significantly greater in teeth with fixed retainers (0.09 \u00b1 0.2 mm) compared to teeth with no fixed retainers (0.01 \u00b1 0.1 mm; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0002), as were plaque and gingival indices and bleeding on probing. Plaque on the lingual\/palatal aspect showed a weak, positive correlation with lingual gingival recession (r = 0.16; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.033).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Orthodontic treatment and fixed retainers were associated with an increased incidence of gingival recession, increased plaque retention, and increased bleeding on probing; however, the magnitude of the difference in recession was of low clinical significance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2008.080128","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,3]],"date-time":"2008-11-03T21:48:55Z","timestamp":1225748935000},"page":"2087-2092","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":91,"title":["The
