Currently, methods of orthodontic bite correction using a brace system require the use of non-removable retainers during the retention period. In case of periodontal diseases due to weakened supporting apparatus of the teeth, this technique is not always effective. Often, as a result of installing a retainer after orthodontic treatment, a relapse occurs in the form of tooth displacement. This occurs due to tooth mobility and bone resorption. In this case, the retainer cannot provide optimal structural rigidity. For this purpose, our study used Dentapreg fiberglass splints, which provide complete long-term stabilization of the dentition or individual groups along the sagittal, in the frontal area, and in some cases, fronto-sagittal stabilization. We performed splinting of teeth after orthodontic treatment for periodontal indications. Our observations have shown that the Dentapreg material is quite resistant to masticatory and occlusal loads and the use of a splint gives a stable result.
