Orthodontic treatment is done to ensure proper alignment of the teeth thereby to restore the quality of oral functions such as mastication, facial aesthetics and speech by improving the occlusal and jaw relationship. Periodontal health serves to be an important factor that may be used to evaluate the success of orthodontic treatment. Like any other treatment modalities, orthodontic treatment also has its own risks and complications. The main challenge faced during the orthodontic treatment is the maintenance of periodontal health. Periodontal complications are the most common side effects associated with orthodontic treatment. Such complications mainly involve the destruction of the periodontal tissues leading to gingivitis at an early stage and periodontitis due to severe gingival recession at later stages. The aim of this study was to estimate the progression of gingivitis in patients with crowding of teeth undergoing orthodontic procedure. The data of 86000 were collected from archived records and they were screened for the patients who underwent orthodontic treatment for crowding of teeth. The collected data was tabulated in excel sheet and imported to spss software for statistical analysis. For the study 200 patients between the age group of 15-30 years who underwent treatment for crowding using fixed orthodontic appliances for a duration of 1 year were chosen out of which 101 patients were males and 99 patients were females. The predominant gender was male. Among the different age groups, group 1[5-20 years] had 74 patients, group 2[21-25 years] had 20 patients and group 3[26-30 years] had 106 patients. The predominant age group was group 3[26-30 years]. To determine the progression of gingivitis, patients were divided based on the treatment duration into two groups, 1-6months and 7-12 months and gingival scoring was given for the status of gingival health. The results were statistically analysed to estimate if there was a progression of gingivitis in due course.
