  • Title: [Use of intracoronal splints in therapy of periodontal disease].
    Author: Zelić O, Dimitrijević B, Ivanović V.
    Journal: Stomatol Glas Srb; 1989; 36(5):401-8. PubMed ID: 2489911.
    Abstract:
    The study concerns the evaluation of the efficacy of intracoronal composite splints (ICS) in the therapy of periodontal disease in its full clinical state. Maxillar and mandibular front teeth were splinted over the period of 12 weeks as a part of a complex therapy procedure of developed periodontal disease. The results of the therapy were evaluated using periodontal indexes, parameters for oral hygiene and other relevant clinical parameters. Values were processed with Student's t-test. With the use of ICS very good results in the therapy of periodontal disease in a short period of time were obtained. Parameter values decreased, especially the index of tooth mobility: before therapy by 2.84 and after therapy to 1.12. Intracoronal composite splints, in comparison with other type of splinting, satisfy both functional and aesthetic aspects.
