The direct traumatising effect of the Stout-Obwegeser wire ligature splint on the marginal periodontium is minimal and need not be considered. The increase in depth of pockets, in the index of sulcus bleeding and in tooth mobility is due to poor oral hygiene. In 16 patients (orthodontic operation and jaw fractures) periodontal measurements were obtained on 369 teeth in 30 jaws before application of the splint, 1 and 6 weeks later and as 6 weeks after removal of the splint. All gingival indices determined were at first raised. The last measurements however showed, better values than those at the beginning of treatment. Inflammatory changes regressed near all teeth whether they were included in a ligature or not. This appears to prove that oral hygiene alone is decisive. The question whether the "curettage" effect of splint application has a therapeutic action is left open.
施陶特-奥布韦格泽尔钢丝结扎夹板对边缘牙周组织的直接创伤作用极小，可不予考虑。牙周袋深度、龈沟出血指数和牙齿松动度的增加是由于口腔卫生不良所致。对16例患者（正畸手术和颌骨骨折），在应用夹板前、应用后1周和6周以及去除夹板后6周，对30个颌骨中的369颗牙齿进行了牙周测量。所有测定的牙龈指数起初均升高。然而，最后的测量结果显示，其值优于治疗开始时。几乎所有牙齿，无论是否被结扎，其炎症变化均消退。这似乎证明仅口腔卫生起决定性作用。夹板应用的“刮治”作用是否具有治疗效果这一问题仍未解决。
