  • Title: [Effect of wire ligature splint reinforced with preparing groove and employing composite materials on the teeth with severe periodontitis].
    Author: Zhang X.
    Journal: Hua Xi Kou Qiang Yi Xue Za Zhi; 1997 May; 15(2):138-40. PubMed ID: 11480032.
    Abstract:
    Teeth with severe periodontitis exhibit alveolar bone loss, teeth mobility and even teeth loss. The author made groove along the buccal and labial surfaces of teeth, twisted the stainless steel wire and placed ultraviolet light polymerized composite resin over the wire. Teeth with mobility 2-3 degree from 39 patients were treated and the effect was evaluated in the period of 2 to 4 years. The results demonstrated that the treatment had advantages of stabiliting very loose teeth and forming a firm unit. It minimized teeth mobility and improved greatly teeth occlusal function. When occlusing, the device could redirect force to other teeth, thereby reduced traumatism and facilitated periodontal tissue repairing and regeneration and protected loose teeth.
