Abstract：AIM: To observe the periodontal status in patients with periodontal disease after orthodontic treatment using self-ligating brackets. METHODS:29 adult patients with periodontitis were orthodontically treated. The periodontal status of all patients was evaluated at the first visit, at the end of treatment and 6 mafter treatment. RESULTS:After treatment periodontal probing depth ( PD ) and bleeding index ( BI ) were significantly lower than that before treatment (P<0.05). Bleeding on probing (BOP) and the number of tooth withⅠ·mobility(TM)signifi-cantly increased (P<0. 05). At 6 m follow-up, PD, CAL BI and BOP significantly reduced (P<0. 05). The num-ber of Ⅰ· TM was almost the same to that before treatment. CONCLUSION:Orthodontic treatment with self-ligating brackets is effective in treating patients with periodontal diseases.
