Objective: To avoid periodontal health deterioration in those getting orthodontic treatment, stringent oral hygiene practises must be followed. In order to assess dental neglect and oral health among those having orthodontic treatment, the current study was initiated utilising the dental neglect scale (DNS) questionnaire
Materials and Methods: The current cross-sectional study was planned and carried out on the 80 individuals undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. The study employed two questionnaires: a closed-ended one that inquired about patients' oral hygiene practises and a DNS that was followed by an evaluation of oral hygiene state using the Oral Hygiene Index Simplified. The data were statistically examined using the chi square test, with P<0.05 being regarded as a statistically significant value. After that, the data were examined using SPSS version 20.
Results: According to the current study, 63% of orthodontic patients, 26% of patients brushed twice daily, and 11% of patients brushed three times daily. Only 9% of the respondents said they utilised interdental aid, whereas roughly 25% said they used a soft-bristled brush. The data demonstrated a favourable relationship between DNS and the oral hygiene index simplified score with a P value of < 0.05.
Conclusion: The current study's findings suggest that orthodontic patients' decreased brushing, mouthwashing, and eating of sticky and hard foods is the outcome of self-neglect.
