Objective:
To determine association between patients age, gender, motivation for orthodontic treatment, level of cooperation and compliance with orthodontic bracket failure.
Materials and Methods:
About 100 patients of age 14 to 40 years who were fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected by lottery method at Khyber college of dentistry and were studied for 6 months( from February 2018 to August 2018). It was a cross sectional study. Sampling was done by non-probability consecutive sampling technique. Data was analyzed by spss 22. P value <0.05 was considered as significant.
Results:
Our result showed that the difference among gender in brackets debonding was significant in first three months (p value = 0.01) and was in significant in the next three months( P value=0.44, 0.21, 0.70 ) in 4th, 5th and 6th month respectively. Level of compliance showed siginificant results .no of brackets debonded after one month (31.48)having p value (0.00). The results for motivation for orthodontic treatment was significant ,no of brackets debonded after one month (109.442) having p value (0.01) and level of cooperation were also siginificant. No of brackets debonded after one month (129.47) having p value (0.01) .Differnt age groups showed that adult patients results in less number of brackets debonding.
Conclusion:
Patients of different age, gender and level of cooperation show different bracket failure rate. Adult patients with their own motivation and high compliance showed less brackets deboning. Similarly female patients showed less deboning.
