Abstract

The practice of orthodontics has sometimes been described as involving two distinct but related processes,the physiological-mechanical and the psychological-educational. Proper application of appliances to thephysiological-mechanical is essential to successful treatment, but no amount of attention by the orthodontistto sophisticated techniques is likely to have much effect, if those efforts are met with resistance or indifferenceon the part of the patient. But how does one counter that indifference or overcome that resistance? How doesone even understand it? This is a most serious and baffling problem, because it is very difficult for those inthe health professions to distinguish which patients will be compliant and which will not, and to know whatto do about it.

Abstract

Saliva influences oral health both through its non-specific physicochemical properties, as well as throughmore specific effects. The proline-rich proteins, statherin and the histatins are salivary proteins that influencecalcium phosphate chemistry, initial plaque formation and candida infection. Increases or decreases inmastication may affect saliva output. Fixed orthodontic appliances introduce an additional constituent to theoral cavity complex that may enhance the environment in a variety of ways. On the other hand, Orthodontictreatment leads to changes in the oral environmental factors that encourage changes in salivary flow rate,viscosity, pH, bacterial count, increased plaque index, and other more things which all are factors supplementthe risk of caries activity and shake the stability of the oral environment. This manuscript highlights theeffect of saliva on orthodontic treatment.
