Abstract
ABSTRACT Aim To study the relationship between gingivitis and irregular teeth in the anterior segments of dental arches. Materials & Methods The sample size of 120 subjects who satisfied the inclusion criteria was randomly selected for the study. These subjects were selected between the age group of 18 to 26 years and divided into two groups. The study group (cases) consists of 60 subjects with irregular teeth in the anterior segments of dental arch. The control group (controls) consists of 60 subjects with well-aligned teeth in the anterior segments of dental arches. Results The mean gingival index of cases & controls were 0.9513 and 0.5959 with standard deviations of 0.7014 and 0.4909 respectively. The t-value was 3.1093 with p<0.001 which was highly significant. Conclusion The mean gingival index of study group was higher than the gingival score of the control group (P<0.001).
