The importance of a coordinated restorative and maintenance program following periodontal therapy: a case report.

The problems arising during the maintenance phase of therapy following a combination of periodontal, orthodontic, and restorative treatment are illustrated by this case report. Emphasis is placed on the combined responsibility of the patient, general dental practitioner, and periodontist to recognize signs of recurrent disease at an early stage, thereby allowing corrective measures to be initiated promptly. By applying these principles, even when disease recurs during the maintenance phase, re-treatment is possible and a satisfactory result can be achieved.

Splinting of teeth with fixed bridges: biological effect.

Forty abutment teeth with pathological mobility were splinted with telescoped removable bridges. During the first 4 weeks the bridges were fixed. From the beginning of the fifth week they were removed once a day. Mobility was measured prior to placing the bridges and at 4 and 10 weeks intervals. Average mobility of the abutment teeth and the control unsplinted teeth did not change significantly during the experimental period.

Validity of clinical assessments related to the cemento-enamel junction.

The distance measured from a constant reference to the subgingival cemento-enamel junction by four observers with two different probes in 11 patients was compared to independent precision measurements of the same distance performed during periodontal surgery. The findings question the validity of probe measurements with relation to the cemento-enamel junction.
