ABSTRACT

Retention is the phase of orthodontic treatment which maintains teeth in their orthodontically corrected positions, following the cessation of active orthodontic tooth movement. Development of resin-impregnated, fiber-reinforced composite materials has provided the potential to develop new approaches for stabilizing teeth and replacing teeth conservatively. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a patient with orthodontic and prosthetic problems. The long-term behavior of glass fibers splint must be evaluated in clinical studies. (Eur J Dent 2011;5:237-240)

Key words:

Fixed partial denture - Orthodontic retainer - Fiber reinforced composite resins - Remineralization - Resin infiltration
