Clinical Follow-up of Direct/Indirect Bridge, Orthodontic and Periodontal Splint by Using Fibre-reinforced Composite

February 9, 2017 updated by: Ovul Kumbuloglu, Ege University

Clinical Follow-up of Direct/Indirect Bridge, Orthodontic and Periodontal Splint Applications by Using Fibre-reinforced Composite.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether fibre-reinforced composite resin restorations are effective for single tooth replacement, elimination of tooth mobility following periodontal treatment and as an orthodontic retainer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Adhesive dentistry is based on preventive dental approach. In presence of such advanced and minimally invasive techniques, destructive treatment methods should not be preferred for clinical situations, such as missing single tooth cases, tooth mobility following periodontal treatment and prevention of relapse after orthodontic treatments. Glass fibre is a reinforcement material, and increases the flexibility of the material together which it has been used. Fibre-reinforced applications by using direct or indirect techniques. This material and method is easily applicable, biocompatible, repairable and economical on a high extent.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Fibre-reinforced composite
Fibreglass reinforced composite restoration-everStick as a medical device intervention will be applied on each subject by using either direct or indirect method. everStick (GC, Belgium) will be used as a fibre reinforcement material.
For those subjects with space availability on interocclusal distance, composite resin restorations with fibreglass reinforcement will be applied without any tooth preparation by using adhesive techniques.
