1.	Gingivitis 02/01/1994 - "The first study (gingivitis study) was designed to determine whether conventional toothbrushing and twice daily use of a brush-on 0.4 per cent SnF2 gel containing more than 90 per cent available Sn2+ would be more effective for controlling plaque accumulation and gingivitis in the presence of orthodontic appliances than conventional toothbrushing alone" 01/01/1999 - "The clinical findings demonstrated that an active ionic toothbrush was no more effective in removing plaque and reducing gingivitis in patients with orthodontic appliances than an inactive ionic toothbrush." 02/01/2008 - "Based on quality assessment and the short experimental period of these trials, current evidence is insufficient to support the comparative efficacy of powered toothbrushes in reducing gingivitis in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic appliance therapy" 01/01/2008 - "Based on quality assessment and the short experimental period of these trials, there is currently not sufficient evidence to suggest particular efficacy of powered toothbrushes in reducing gingivitis in people who are undergoing fixed orthodontic appliance therapy" 11/01/1998 - "OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of an electric toothbrush with a specially designed orthodontic brush head compared with a manual toothbrush in controlling plaque and gingivitis in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances over an 8-week period in a dental practice setting" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Dental Caries (White Spot) 01/01/2003 - "Evidence for the efficacy of various methods of treating white-spot lesions after debonding of fixed orthodontic appliances." 02/01/2007 - "INTRODUCTION: The aim of this investigation was to use quantitative light-induced fluorescence to study the natural behavior of white-spot lesions that developed in orthodontic patients during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances, after the removal of those appliances" 12/01/2004 - "The aims of this in vitro study were 2-fold: 1) to evaluate two fluorescence methods (DIAGNOdent and QLF (quantitative light-induced fluorescence)) for quantification of white spot lesions adjacent to fixed orthodontic appliances; and 2) to determine the inter-observer agreement of the DIAGNOdent and QLF methods for quantification of incipient enamel lesions adjacent to fixed orthodontic appliances" 07/01/2007 - "OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of external bleaching on the color and luminosity of inactive white-spot lesions (WSLs) present after fixed orthodontic appliance treatment as means for achieving color matching of the WSLs with adjacent tooth surfaces" 07/01/2007 - "External bleaching effect on the color and luminosity of inactive white-spot lesions after fixed orthodontic appliances."

3.	Inflammation 04/01/1987 - "Four conclusions can be drawn from the findings of this study: the presence of an orthodontic appliance did not result in an increase of plaque accumulation or gingival inflammation for the full-banded orthodontic patient; monthly oral hygiene instruction was effective in significantly reducing the amount of visible plaque and gingival inflammation; monthly rubber-cup prophylaxis had a significant effect in reducing the gingival enlargement routinely associated with a fixed orthodontic appliance; and the width of attached gingiva showed no significant change throughout the course of the study." 02/01/1998 - "The findings suggest that treatments with the antibacterial varnish result in reduced gingival inflammation and may thus be beneficial for patients with fixed orthodontic appliances." 09/01/2004 - "The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical and microbiological factors associated with orthodontic appliances during an episode of gingival inflammation and the impact of appliance removal on periodontal health" 06/01/1998 - "This study confirms that fitting an orthodontic appliance results in plaque accumulation and increased gingival inflammation, and that GCF volume is the most sensitive indicator of that inflammation" 02/01/2008 - "The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the effectiveness of powered and manual toothbrushes in reducing gingival inflammation in patients having fixed orthodontic appliance therapy" Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Periodontal Diseases (Periodontal Disease) 02/01/1996 - "This review highlights critical developments in orthodontic techniques and microbiological advances which have helped clarify the interrelationships between orthodontic appliances and periodontal disease" 01/01/1990 - "These data helped to demonstrate that the plaque and the periodontal disease can be suitably controlled by the patient even with the use of orthodontic appliances" 12/01/1989 - "The study was designed to evaluate the adverse influence of removable or fixed orthodontic appliances on the periodontal status of patients, thus predisposing to periodontal disease" 08/01/2002 - "The placement of orthodontic appliances creates a favorable environment for the accumulation of a microbiota and food residues, which, in time, may cause caries or exacerbate any pre-existing periodontal disease" 07/01/1995 - "Crowded or malpositioned teeth, hypertrophic gingiva, orthodontic appliances, and prosthetic replacements can impede proper plaque removal and thus perpetuate periodontal disease" Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Malocclusion (Crossbite) 06/01/2004 - "The anterior crossbite was eliminated in one week, and the treatment was finished with fixed orthodontic appliances." 07/01/1997 - "Those in the study group wore an orthodontic appliance to correct cross-bite" 01/01/1992 - "This study evaluated the cephalometric changes in the soft tissue lip profile following treatment of Class II Division 1 malocclusion with upper first bicuspid extractions with our esthetic orthodontic appliance approach" 12/01/2007 - "The sample comprised 14 adult patients (2 males and 12 females) requiring fixed orthodontic appliance for Class II malocclusion" 11/01/2007 - "The contradictory findings on the impact of malocclusion and orthodontic appliances on periodontal health may be partly due to the selection of materials and differences in the research methods employed."
