Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to assess the gingivitis status and some related factors in orthodontic patients at Military Hospital 103.. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 94 patients who had been wearing braces for at least three months at Military Hospital 103 from June 2022 to August 2024. Data collection involved clinical examination and interviews to measure gingival index (GI), plaque index (PLI), and sulcus bleeding index (SBI). Variables included patient age, duration of braces, oral hygiene habits, and use of supplementary cleaning tools.. Results: The results indicated that 78.8% of the patients had moderate to severe gingivitis. Patients who used additional cleaning tools, such as dental floss or interdental brushes, had significantly lower GI, PLI, and SBI scores (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the duration of braces and oral hygiene frequency were critical factors influencing the severity of gingivitis.. Conclusion: Maintaining proper oral hygiene through regular brushing and the use of supplementary tools significantly reduces gingivitis in orthodontic patients.
