title: [Conservative treatment of the antero-inferior region using natural elements. The bonded pontic as semi-definitive rehabilitation in subterminal periodontitis: a study of 12 patients].
abstract: This study involved 12 patients with chronic adult periodontitis in which 1 or 2 lower incisors had to be extracted due to extreme bone loss. The resulting diastemata were closed by means of the acid-etch technique. Patient's own teeth were used as pontics after endodontic treatment. They were connected to a metal framework by means of composite and this restoration was anchored to the rest dentition. Radiographical analysis (no further bone loss around abutment teeth) as well as clinical parameters indicated the long-term successful periodontal reaction to this treatment. The low number of losses illustrated the longevity (mean = 8 years and 3 months) of the rehabilitation.
