Sažetak
Aim: Patient D.T., age 34, presented at Department of Periodontology with complaints of strong pain with multiple periodontal abscesses and significant tooth migration. Familiar history was positive. Material and Methods: Advanced aggressive periodontitis was diagnosed and initial periodontal therapy performed with addition of systemic antibiotics. Reevaluation after two months showed significant improvement. Next pathologic tooth migration, significant mobility and loss of interdental contacts in upper front were addressed. Using elastic bands teeth were realigned in 3 weeks and composite fiber-reinforced splint done. Closure of interdental spaces and apical reposition of contact points resulted in reappearance of papillae. Results: Aim was to control the infection and stabilize upper front teeth. There were no active residual pockets after debridement in the frontal area so orthodontic movement was undertaken. Further surgical therapy is planned for lateral teeth. Conclusion: Minor orthodontic movement using elastic bands and composite fiber-reinforced splint resulted in realignment and stabilization of the upper front. Esthetic correction resulted in significant motivation for the patient as his major complaint was impairment
