TI  - Periodontal status of orthodontic patients and the relationship between dental 
      aesthetic index and community periodontal index of treatment need.
PG  - 714-20
AB  - This prospective clinic-based study evaluated the pretreatment periodontal status 
      of the orthodontic patients seen at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, 
      Nigeria, and assessed the relationship between dental aesthetic index (DAI) 
      scores and periodontal status according to community periodontal index of 
      treatment needs (CPITN) scores. One hundred forty five patients-70 (48.3%) males 
      and 75 (51.7%) females from 6 to 45 years (mean 15.8 +/- 7.5)-were seen. World 
      Health Organization (WHO) guidelines were followed in the examination and 
      reporting of the periodontal status, and DAI scores were assessed based on WHO 
      guidelines. The chi-square test was used to determine the association between the 
      DAI and the CPITN scores. Most patients were in the 6-15 (55.9%) or 16-25 (35.9%) 
      age groups. Based on the WHO preferred cumulative calculations of treatment need 
      (TN), 35.2% of the patients had TN 0, 64.9% had TN 1, 24.9% had TN 2, and only 
      0.7% had TN 3. The relationship between DAI scores and periodontal treatment 
      needs was not statistically significant (P >.05). Although many patients were yet 
      to attain the WHO goal of no more than 1 sextant affected by bleeding or calculus 
      at the age of 15, over one third had satisfactory periodontal health.
