Strength determination of periodontal splints fabricated from acid-etched retained materials.

Six systems (one polycarboxylate, one polymethyl methacrylate, one unfilled BIS-GMA resin, two combinations of methyl cyanoacrylate and polymethyl methacrylate, and one combination of unfilled BIS-GMA and filled composite resin) were evaluated for in vitro retention to acid-etched human enamel. Also tested were one unfilled-filled resin combination backed by perforated orthodontic band metal and another unfilled resin backed by stainless steel wire mesh. Significant differences in retention were found. Results show that retention depends pril surface and to resist subsequent chemical degradation.

The processed provisional splint in periodontal prostheses.

A technique has been described whereby a heat-processed provisional splint was fabricated with the factors of esthetics and long-term serviceability being of prime importance. Additional advantages of the use of a well-adapted provisional restoration in a periodontal prosthesis are as follows: (1) They facilitate periodontal treatment by allowing total visibility and access to surgical sites when the splint is removed. (2) The splinting effect may enhance healing and periodontal-ligament reattachment by stabilizing mobile abutments. (3) The patient's ability to render adequate home care for a fixed prosthetic restoration may be evaluated and reinforced before making case restorations. (4) The patient's cooperation is assured during an extended period of restorative care when an esthetic, comfortable, provisional splint is provided.

Provisional splinting in advanced periodontal disease. Case report.

This case report describes an approach to treatment for a patient with severe bone loss resulting from advanced periodontal diseae. A provisional splint was constructed in conjunction with suitable periodontal therapy. The purpose was to allow time for evaluation prior to deciding whether to commit the patient to permanent stabilization.

[Results of conservative and surgical treatment of jaw fractures].

In the majority of the patients with fractures of the jaws treated in the period covered by this study, conservative therapy has shown satisfying results. In intraoral splinting, periodontal lesions could largely be avoided by adequate oral hygiene. Surgery must still be applied in those cases where conservative methods failed to be successful.
