Authors: Mona IONAS, Albertina STANILA, Tiberiu-Horatiu IONAS

Abstract:

Dental mobility appears as an unwanted effect of the periodontal disease. Splinting with glass fiber is a rapid, aesthetic and minimum invasive technique, granting immediate, time-stable results. As an adjuvant method applied in the treatments specific to periodontitis, the
eutrophic character of splinting assures the healing effect upon tissues. Equally, the aesthetic aspect of splinting has a positive influence on the mental condition of the patient. An immediate functional and aesthetic improvement after the treatment motivates patient to cooperate during the life long periodontal treatment.
