Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To compare the plaque inhibitory effect of titania nanoparticle infused fluoride varnish and conventional fluoride varnish in fixed orthodontic patients.

    Plaque will be assessed quantitatively by modified plaque index.

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • To measure plaque bacterial load and pH following application of titania nanoparticle infused and conventional fluoride varnish in fixed orthodontic patients.

    6 months

Study Arms (2)

Group A

EXPERIMENTAL

Group A will receive topical application of conventional fluoride varnish.

Procedure: Fluoride varnish

Group B

EXPERIMENTAL

Group B will receive topical application of titania nanoparticle infused varnish.

Procedure: Novel titania nanoparticle infused fluoride varnish

Interventions
