简要总结
Although orthodontic therapy frequently improves tooth alignment and appearance, its problems with oral hygiene can make patients highly susceptible to gingivitis. After orthodontic treatment, gingivitis is a typical problem. New treatments that promote healing and decrease inflammation are needed. Ascorbic acid and Derma Pen used together have recently surfaced as a potentially effective therapy option for patients who seeking for periodontal therapy during and after orthodontic treatments.

干预措施: mechanical periodontal treatment (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
gingival index (GI)
时间窗: one month
gingival index will be calibrated using William's probe approximately 1 to 2 mm to the margin of the gingiva at an angulation of 45 degree to document the gingival inflammation signs of the upper six anterior teeth. Each of the four surfaces of the anterior teeth (buccal, lingual, mesial, and distal) will be given a score from 0 to 3 and then areas were added and divided by four to give the accurate GI of each tooth. Score 0 = No signs of inflammation, bleeding, or swelling. Score 1= Presence of signs of mild inflammation, slight edema, and color change but no bleeding. Score 2 = Presence of moderate inflammation, redness, swelling, and bleeding on probing. Score 3 = Presence of severe inflammation, marked redness, edema, and spontaneous bleeding.
