This study aims to determine the differences in flow rate and saliva pH between users and non-users of fixed orthodontic devices. Materials and Methods: This type of research is analytical observational, with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were students class 2020, 2021, and 2022, the sample in this study was 116 students. Data collection by observation, interviews and examination. The method for measuring saliva flow rate with drainase and saliva pH using the Hanna HI98107 pH meter. Univariate and bivariate data analysis (independent sample t test). Results and Discussions: The results of the study showed that the there was a difference in saliva flow rate in users and non-users of fixed orthodontic appliances (p-value 0.001), there is a difference in saliva pH between users and non-users (p-value 0.000). Conclusion: The use of fixed orthodontic can affect saliva flow rate and salivary pH.

Periodontal diseases such as periodontitis that cannot be treated with non-surgical therapy, surgical therapy is performed, namely curettage which aims to eliminate bacteria and gingivectomy helps visibility and accessibility so that it will reduce periodontal inflammation. Case: A 21-year-old female patient came to RSGM UNIMUS with complaints of enlarged gingiva on the upper and lower front teeth and redness on the upper left back teeth, since 1 year ago, clinically there was gingival enlargement on teeth 12,21,31,32,42,43 and redness accompanied by periodontal pockets on the mesial and distal parts of teeth 26,27. Case Treatment: The treatment procedure carried out in the initial phase was scaling, then after control it was continued with periodontal surgery, namely curettage and gingivectomy because the results of the evaluation of pocket depth and gingival enlargement did not decrease. Discussions: The results of treatment after two weeks after scaling have not changed, after two weeks after periodontal surgery showed good condition with mild complaints. Conclusion and Suggestions: Gingivectomy and curettage treatment can quickly reduce periodontal inflammation.
