15 question questionnaire measuring pain and function. Total scores from 15 questions compared - pain and function combined. Scale: 10 to 100 (best to worst). Difference between test and control scores compared.

30 question questionnaire measuring disabilities of the upper limb. Scale from 0 to 100 (best to worst). Difference between test and control scores compared.

Measured using a dynamometer. Results compared between test and control elbows, and between study and contralateral elbow (internal control).

Measured by participant questionnaire. Comparison of the number of participants in each group with cutaneous events - "redness", "rash", "swelling" or changes at gel site. Classed as none, mild, moderate or severe. Plus any other event mentioned by the participants.

Measurement of blood IgE levels. Test and control averages compared. Normal is <100IU/mL.

Measurement of blood IgE levels. Comparison of the number of participants in each group, test and control, with a normal baseline reading of blood IgE and a subsequently elevated IgE reading. Normal is <100IU/mL.

Group A subjects will be given standard oral hygiene instructions on the visit with a standard 0.8 % metronidazole gel instructed to apply topically on the marginal gingiva for the next 4 weeks, twice a day for 30 minutes, after morning and evening tooth brushing.

Subjects will be provided biweekly reminder via SMS in the form of text message reinforcing oral hygiene. Additionally, patients will be given standard oral hygiene instructions on the visit with a placebo gel topically instructed to apply on the marginal gingiva for the next 4 weeks, twice a day for 30 minutes, after morning and evening tooth brushing.

Group C will be subjects will be given standard oral hygiene instructions on the visit with a placebo gel topically instructed to apply on the marginal gingiva for the next 4 weeks, twice a day for 30 minutes, after morning and evening tooth brushing.

Gingivitis

The application of metronidazole gel is effective in the management of gingivitis in patients undergoing orthodontic therapy. Additionally, the constant reminder therapy at weekly interval would also lead to improvement in the oral hygiene.16 According to pertinent literature survey, none of the study has been conducted to compare the effectiveness of SMS reminders and use of anaerobic gel to reduce gingival inflammation.

Metronidazole gel

Subjects will be provided biweekly reminder via 'SMS text reminder' in the form of text message reinforcing oral hygiene. Additionally, patients will be given standard oral hygiene instructions on the visit with a placebo gel topically instructed to apply on the marginal gingiva for the next 4 weeks, twice a day for 30 minutes, after morning and evening tooth brushing.

Effectiveness of Metronidazole Gel and Mobile SMS Reminders on Gingivitis in Orthodontic Patients

Effectiveness of Metronidazole Gel and Mobile Telephone Short- Message Service Reminders on Gingivitis in Orthodontic Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Improvement in Bleeding Index Scores In Orthodontic Patients, Change from Baseline in Index at 4 weeks. All the measurements at the baseline (To) and follow ups (T1) will be recorded by the investigator on separate To and T1 sheets. Six standard sites on incisors, canines and premolars have been used in this study as study sites. The study sites will be six proximal-buccal line angles on the following teeth: right maxillary second premolar, mesiobuccal line angle; right maxillary canine, distobuccal line angle; left maxillary central incisor, distolabial line angle; right mandibular central incisor, distolabial line angle; left mandibular canine, distobuccal line angle; and left mandibular second premolar, mesiobuccal line angle. If a study tooth was missing, the corresponding tooth on the contralateral side will be examined.
0. Absence of bleeding after 30 seconds
Bleeding observed after 30 seconds
Immediate bleeding

Improvement in Gingival Index Scores In Orthodontic Patients, Change from Baseline in Index at 4 weeks. All the measurements at the baseline (To) and follow ups (T1) will be recorded by the investigator on separate To and T1 sheets. Six standard sites on incisors, canines and premolars have been used in this study as study sites (same as above).
0. No inflammation.
Mild inflammation, slight change in color, slight edema, no bleeding on probing.
Moderate inflammation, moderate glazing, redness, bleeding on probing.
Severe inflammation, marked redness and hypertrophy, ulceration, tendency to spontaneous bleeding

Improvement in Orthodontic Plaque Index Scores In Orthodontic Patients, Change from Baseline in Index at 4 weeks. All the measurements at the baseline (To) and follow ups (T1) will be recorded by the investigator on separate To and T1 sheets. Six standard sites on incisors, canines and premolars have been used in this study as study sites (same as above) and the condition of adjacent marginal gingiva by staining the teeth with plaque disclosing solution will be assessed.
0. No plaque deposits on the tooth surfaces surrounding the bracket base
Plaque deposits on one tooth surface at the bracket base
Plaque deposits on two tooth surface at the bracket base
Plaque deposits on three tooth surface at the bracket base
Plaque deposits on four tooth surface at the bracket base and/or gingival inflammation indicators (plaque deposits near the gingiva do not necessarily have to be present)
