The Impact of the Restoration of Invisible Orthodontic Titanium Alloy Implant Without Bracket on Individuals Afflicted with Dental Malocclusion and Arch Deficiency Accompanied by Periodontitis and a Local Periodontal Inflammation.

Objective: To investigate the impact of the restoration of non-bracket invisible orthodontic titanium alloy implant on individuals with dental malocclusion and arch deficiency accompanied by periodontitis and local periodontal Inflammation.

Method: A cohort of 120 patients presenting with dental malocclusion and defects compounded by periodontitis, were treated at our institution between January 2021 and January 2022; these patients were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial.. These patients were allocated into two groups. The control group (comprising 60 cases) underwent titanium alloy implant restoration, while the research group (also with 60 cases) received titanium alloy implant restoration following invisible orthodontic treatment without brackets. A one-year post-treatment follow-up was conducted, during which various parameters, including pain levels, aesthetic improvement, inflammatory response, dental function, oral hygiene, and the incidence of adverse events, were evaluated and compared before and after treatment between the two groups.

Results: After six months of treatment, the visual analog scale (VAS) in the study group was lower than that in the control group (P < .05). After 6 months of treatment, the research team observed the changes in gingival crevicular interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Interleuckin-1 (IL-1), plaque index (PLI), and soft dirt index (DI) were all lower than those in the control group (P < .05). After 6 months of treatment, the research group had higher scores for tooth functions such as chewing, swallowing, speech expression, and occlusion than the control group, as well as higher pink and white aesthetics indexes (P < .05). The difference in the incidence rate of adverse outcomes between the research and control group was not distinct (P > .05).

Conclusion: In case of dental malocclusion accompanied by periodontal disease, the utilization of titanium implants for rectifying dental arch deformities without the use of orthodontic brackets, devoid of orthodontic brackets, has demonstrated notable efficacy in alleviating patients' periodontal discomfort, their oral hygiene, and dental functionality. This modality is conducive to augmenting dental aesthetics without incurring heightened rates of unfavorable consequences, thereby enhancing treatment outcomes.
