Abstract

Background: The stabilization of the tooth exposed to dental trauma is one of the important factors in the healing of both the tooth and the adjacent tissues. Various types of splint and methods are used according to trauma. The aim of this in vitro study is to evaluate the periotest results of various splint methods commonly used in clinical practice.

Methods: In this study, 30 extracted, fixed anterior teeth placed in acrylic models were used. The teeth were divided into 5 groups, one of them as control group. 4 different splint methods were applied to all groups except control group. Before and after the periotests of each group were measured.

Results: The results of the study showed that the peri-test values were lower than the negative values in the groups except Ribbond (Group D) after the procedure. In addition, the most significant difference in periotest value was seen in Group D.

Conclusion: It is thought that ribbond splints should be preferred in the treatment of mobility in teeth due to trauma according to the data obtained in the study.

Dental travmada kullanılan farklı splint tiplerinin periotest yöntemi ile değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Dental travmaya maruz kalan dişin stabilizasyonunun sağlanması hem
dişin hem de komşu dokuların iyileşmesinde önemli faktörlerden biridir. Travma
sonucu dişte meydana gelen yaralanma şekline göre çeşitli splint tipleri ve
yöntemleri kullanılmaktadır. Bu in vitro çalışmamızın amacı klinik uygulamada
sık kullanılan çeşitli splint yöntemlerinin periotest sonuçlarını
değerlendirmektir.

Materyal ve Metot:  Bu çalışmada akrilik
modellere yerleştirilmiş 30 adet çekilmiş daimi ön grup dişler kullanıldı.
Dişler, biri kontrol grubu olmak üzere 5 gruba ayrıldı. Kontrol grubu hariç diğer
gruplara 4 farklı splint yöntemi uygulandı. Her grubun işlem öncesi ve sonrası periotestleri
ölçüldü.

Bulgular: Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular neticesinde işlem sonrası Ribbond
(Grup D) haricindeki gruplarda periotest değeri eksi değerlerin altına indiği
görüldü. Ayrıca periotest değer farkı da en fazla Grup D’de görüldü.

Sonuç: Çalışmada elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda travma sonucu
dişlerde oluşan mobilitenin tedavisinde Ribbond splintlerin tercih edilmesinin
daha uygun olacağı düşünülmektedir.
