To study the influence of splints on the periodontia over a period of time, Obwegeser and Merkx splints were applied on beagles. Clinical evaluation using different periodontal parameters was carried out before, and 48 h, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after splinting. It was shown that both splints act as plaque-retentive devices and provoke gingival inflammation. A statistically significant difference between both splints could, however, only be demonstrated for the plaque index.
为研究夹板在一段时间内对牙周组织的影响,将Obwegeser夹板和Merkx夹板应用于比格犬。在夹板固定前、固定后48小时、3周和6周,使用不同的牙周参数进行临床评估。结果表明,两种夹板都起到菌斑滞留装置的作用,并引发牙龈炎症。然而,仅在菌斑指数方面,两种夹板之间存在统计学上的显著差异。
