EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MULTI-UNIT ORTHOPEDIC SPLINTS IN SEVERE PERIODONTITIS

Main Article Content
Abstract
Severe periodontitis leads to extensive destruction of the tooth's supporting tissues, resulting in pathological tooth mobility. This mobility not only impairs masticatory function and causes patient discomfort but also exacerbates occlusal trauma, negatively impacting further disease progression. In these conditions, the application of multi-unit orthopedic splints allows for the stabilization of mobile teeth into a single unit, redistributing occlusal forces and creating a favorable environment for the healing of periodontal tissues. Evaluating the effectiveness of modern, biocompatible, and aesthetic splinting materials in conjunction with standard periodontal therapy is a crucial task in the comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with severe periodontitis.
