Monitoring of the oral cavity after fixing the veneers

Abstract

The hygienic state of the oral cavity and the degree of bleeding of the gums after fixing the veneers were estimated. Veneers were installed in 93 patients, the average age was 30.2 ± 5.12 years. In 59.1% of cases, ceramic (group 1) was established, in 40.9% cases - composite veneers (group 2). Indices of OHI-S, GI and SBI were determined in the oral fluid. The state of oral hygiene in both groups improved by an average of 23.7% and 19.0%, respectively, in groups 1 and 2, 10-14 days later, compared with baseline. A month later the difference was 90.0% (p <0.01). By 3 and 6 months, no significant difference was noted. At a certain time (1 month) with composite veneers, bleeding gums persisted. Perhaps this was due to the development of gingivitis due to improper brushing of teeth. In patients with ceramic composites, the level of index of OHI-S, GI and SBI did not change steadily by 3-6 months, in patients with composite veneers all three indices tended to worsen, although no significant differences were noted with the initial value. It is possible that the deterioration of hygiene and the general condition of the oral cavity is due to insufficiently accurate and thorough cleaning of the teeth. 87.1% of patients cleaned their teeth once a day, and 96.8% of patients forgot to rinse after eating. It is possible that the patient's careful treatment of fixed veneers in the first day and months was further weakened, which was expressed by a change in the state of the oral cavity by the 6th month.
