Abstract:
Introduction.
Dental mobility due to the loss of tooth support structures in chronic periodontitis
leads to their subsequent extraction negatively affecting the function of
mastication, aesthetics and patient comfort. Splinting mobile teeth favors the
restoration of tissues and function of periodontium.
Purpose.
Increasing the effectiveness of complex treatment of patients with chronic
generalized periodontitis. Material and methods.
23 patients (11 m., 12 f.) aged 38-63 years with chronic generalized periodontitis of
varying degrees were examined clinically and para-clinically. For non-invasive direct
immobilization of mobile teeth polyethylene fiber InFIbra (Italy), applied on the
vestibular surface of the upper and / or lower frontal teeth, was used. InFibra is made of long longitudinal white and high crystallized
polyethylene fibers that give high mechanical characteristics. InFibra has
been developed for “metal free” dentistry. The special interlacing
enables a net cut and the complete padding with all flowable resin
composites unfilled and acrylic resin. Results.
Clinical and para-clinical examination of patients included in the study allowed the diagnosis of
generalized chronic periodontitis of varying degrees. To stop the pathological mobility of teeth in
complex treatment of patients, the adhesive immobilization with reinforcement of composite material
with polyethylene fibers InFibra fixed on the vestibular surface of the toothed teeth was included.
Repeated examination after 6 and 12 months shown disappearance of discomfort during eating due to
stopping dental mobility. After 12 months after immobilization was marked decreasing in OHI-S and IP
indices and stopping radiologically determined atrophic processes of the alveolar bone. Conclusions.
Excellent technical and handling properties, the consistency of the
shape, ensured by the unique weave – Lock-stitched leno – weave
lens made of polyethylene fibers InFibra allow to use it at splinting
teeth with pathological mobility, even grade III-IV increasing the
effectiveness of complex treatment.
