Abstract
Objective: Some clinical periodontal health parameters were assessed comparatively in patients using conventional and lingual brackets. Material and method: A trained examiner registered the frequencies of visible plaque (VP), bleeding on probing (BOP), as well as the simplified oral hygiene (OHI-S) and modified gingival (MGI) indices in 83 subjects from two clinics. The effects of orthodontic treatments on periodontal health were analyzed using logistic regression (α = 0.05). Result: In the conventional group, the frequency of visible plaque was significantly higher on the buccal surfaces of anterior (OR = 12.5) and maxillary posterior (OR = 3.6) teeth, p < 0.01. BOP in posterior teeth was also more frequent in this group, p < 0.05. The lingual group presented higher frequency of visible plaque on the lingual surfaces of anterior teeth (OR = 4.3; p = 0.0034). The conventional group had significantly higher frequencies of mild gingivitis in the buccal regions of anterior (OR = 9.0) and maxillary posterior (OR = 16.7) teeth, p < 0.05, and anterior papillae (OR = 9.0; p = 0.0003). On the other hand, the lingual group evidenced mild gingivitis more often in the lingual regions of anterior teeth (OR = 54.5), p < 0.01. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the clinical periodontal health conditions may be considered acceptable for patients using both conventional and lingual brackets.

Resumo
Objetivo: Alguns parâmetros clínicos de saúde periodontal foram avaliados comparativamente em pacientes que utilizavam braquetes convencionais e linguais. Material e método: Um examinador treinado registrou as frequências de placa bacteriana visível (PB) e sangramento à sondagem (SS), bem como dos índices higiene oral simplificado (IHO-S) e gengival modificado (IGM), em 83 pacientes de duas clínicas. Os efeitos dos tratamentos ortodônticos na saúde periodontal foram analisados por regressão logística (α=0,05). Resultado: No grupo convencional, a frequência de placa bacteriana foi significativamente mais elevada nas superfícies vestibulares dos dentes anteriores (OR = 12,5) e posteriores superiores (OR = 3,6), p < 0,01. O SS nos dentes posteriores também foi mais frequente neste grupo, p < 0,05. O grupo lingual apresentou frequência mais alta de placa bacteriana nas superfícies linguais dos dentes anteriores (OR = 4,3; p = 0,0034). O grupo convencional apresentou frequências significativamente elevadas de gengivite leve nas regiões vestibulares dos dentes anteriores (OR = 9,0) e posteriores superiores (OR = 16,7), p < 0,05, e de papilas anteriores (OR = 9,0 p = 0,0003). Por outro lado, o grupo lingual evidenciou gengivite leve mais frequentemente nas superfícies linguais dos dentes anteriores (OR = 54,5), p < 0,01. Conclusão: Com base nos resultados deste estudo, as condições clínicas de saúde periodontal podem ser consideradas razoáveis em pacientes que utilizavam braquetes convencionais e linguais.
