Brief Summary

Orthodontic treatment is an elective procedure to improve the patient's dentofacial appearance. The complex design of fixed appliances provides a platform that leads to increased plaque accumulation around orthodontic brackets. So, the risk to develop demineralization area adjacent to orthodontic brackets is a major barrier in achieving this goal. Oral hygiene is greatly complicated following the placement of fixed orthodontic Appliances. Molar tube in place are considered for nearly all patients experiencing fixed orthodontic therapy over the whole treatment period, which normally lasts 1.5 to 2 years. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the application and antimicrobial efficacy of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles coating on orthodontic molar tube material has not been integrated clinically. White spot lesions during orthodontic treatment have a documented etiology. Briefly, the accumulation of plaque and food around brackets, bands, wires, and other attachments caused decreased pH and increased S. mutans colonization, which led to the possibility of clinical demineralization. The aims of study are to assess the antimicrobial effect of nanoparticle coated stainless steel orthodontic molar tube material (OMT) with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in relative to uncoated orthodontic molar tube (UOMT) against the streptococcus. mutans\& lactobacllius bacteria that cause white spot lesion around the fixed orthodontic appliance. .

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluation of the antimicrobial Effect of ZnO Nanoparticles Coated orthodontic molar tube in relative to the uncoated orthodontic molar tube

    Compare the antimicrobial properties of the zno nanoparticle coated OMT in relative to uncoated orthodontic molar tube (UOMT), through taking swaps from patient and sent to laboratory to culturing swaps samples to evaluating the colony forming unit number of S. mutans\&lactobacillus bacteria which consider mean cause of white spot lesion and compare with the uncoated orthodontic molar tube swaps cultures.

    After 2 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluate and compare the clinical bond failure rate between the coated orthodontic molar tube and the uncoated orthodontic molar tube

    3 months

Study Arms (2)

Zinc oxide nanoparticle coated orthodontic molar tubes (experimental)

EXPERIMENTAL

The nine orthodontic patients will receive 36 orthodontic molar tubes coated with ZnO nanoparticle in split-mouth cross quadrant manner, In each patient, two diagonal quadrants (i.e., upper right and lower left, or vice versa) will randomly assigned to each coated OMT and UOMT groups. evaluation will be after 2 weeks for microbial assessment biofilm in addition to plaque \& gingival index. patients will be follow up for 3 month to evaluation bond failure rate.

Device: Zinc oxide nanoparticle coated orthodontic molar tubes (experimental)

orthodontic molar tubes (control)

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The nine orthodontic patients will receive 36 the non-coated orthodontic molar tube in split-mouth cross quadrant manner, In each patient, two diagonal quadrants (i.e., upper right and lower left, or vice versa) will randomly assigned to each coated OMT and UOMT groups. evaluation will be after 2 weeks for microbial assessment biofilm in addition to plaque \& gingival index. patients will be follow up for 3 month to evaluation bond failure rate.

Device: orthodontic molar tubes (control)

Interventions

nine orthodontic patients each one will receive 2 coated zinc oxide nanoparticle molar tubes in split-mouth manner and will assess for antimicrobial effect on s. mutans \& lactobacillus after two weeks, in addition to evaluation of bond failure rate after three months.

Zinc oxide nanoparticle coated orthodontic molar tubes (experimental)

nine orthodontic patients each one will receive two uncoated molar tubes in split-mouth manner and will assess for antimicrobial effect on S. mutans \& lactobacillus after two weeks, also, evaluation of the bond failure rate after three months period.
