ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the clinical effects of modified everStick C&B fiber resin bonded bridge in the restoration of inci-sor missing teeth in senile patients.Methods:32 patients over 65 years with incisor loss old were included.13 of them were with missing maxillary incisors and 19 with missing mandibular incisors.13 had 1 missing tooth,11 had 2,5 had 3 and 3 had 4 missing teeth.The abutment was loose in 24 cases and not loose in 8 cases.All patients were treated with modified everStick C&B fiber resin bonded bridge repair.Re-examination was conducted at 6,12 and 18 months after completion of repair.The re-examination includ-ed 6 indexes including prosthesis debonding,fracture,color change,defect,abutment loosening and periodontal tissue inflamma-tion.The patients'satisfaction was investigated 6 months after the repair was completed.The investigation included 3 indexes:whether the treatment was comfortable,whether the aesthetic effect was satisfactory,and whether the pronunciation and chewing were comfortable after the repair.Results:The 32 patients were reexamined 6 months after completion of the repair,and all 6 indexes were grade A.Reexamination at 12 months showed that 1 case of treated defect was grade B,2 cases of abutal periodontal tissue in-flammation was grade B,and the rest indexes were grade A.Reexamination at 18 months showed that 1 case of treated defect was grade B,3 cases of abutal periodontal tissue inflammation was grade B,and the rest indexes were grade A.All the 2 cases of grade B defects reached grade A after resin filling.All the 5 cases of abutal periodontal tissue inflammation grade B reached grade A 5-7 days after periodontal cleaning.All 3 indicators in the patient satisfaction survey were graded A.Conclusion:The modified ever-Stick C&B fiber resin bonded bridge is effective in the restoration of incisor missing teeth in senile patients.
