Immediate and indirect woven polyethylene ribbon--reinforced periodontal-prosthetic splint: a case report.

The patient described in this case report required removal of several mandibular incisor teeth because of severe periodontal disease. She demanded an immediate replacement for these teeth, but, because of the periodontal conditions, it was not possible to use conventional approaches to fulfill her request. The decision was made to fabricate an immediate indirect-direct, reinforced, bonded composite resin periodontal prosthesis. The patient's extracted mandibular central incisors were used as pontic replacements. The procedure was expedient, inexpensive, and conservative, and the results were esthetic.

Fabrication and strategic significance of a special resin composite splint in advanced periodontitis.

The usefulness of splinting of severely loosened teeth in advanced periodontitis has been discussed extensively, both positively and negatively. Retention of patients own teeth through the aid of this simple and inexpensive resin composite splint provides a satisfactory solution for many affected patients. The fabrication and placement techniques for splints for the anterior and posterior regions are described, as are additional indications for such splints, which are fabricated from resin composite and glass fiber bundles. Such splinting can be provided even for severely loosened, periodontally diseased teeth without danger of intraoperative tooth loss. Long-term retention of such teeth can be ensured only through a risk-oriented postoperative program of oral hygiene and regular examination of the splint.

Bondable reinforcement ribbon: clinical applications.

Bondable reinforcement ribbon can be used in dentistry to splint periodontally involved teeth, to provide postorthodontic splinting, to reinforce provisional prostheses, and to fabricate direct adhesive prostheses. Four cases illustrate esthetically and functionally successful use of reinforced ribbon.
