Official Title: Marginal Biofilm Distribution and Periodontal Response to Supragingival and Juxtagingival Aligner Designs: A Prospective Split-Mouth Clinical Study
Brief Summary:
* This prospective, longitudinal, within-person (split-mouth) clinical study evaluates the influence of two clear aligner trimming-line designs on marginal soft-tissue biofilm distribution and periodontal tissue response over a six-month period.* Two trimming-line designs are compared. The supragingival design has a straight, horizontal edge that extends approximately 2 mm onto the marginal gingiva, resting in direct contact with the gingival surface but not entering the gingival sulcus. The juxtagingival design…
