title: [The effect of splints on the status of the hard dental tissues and periodontium in patients with jaw fractures].
abstract: Effects of metal splints on the hygienic status of the oral cavity and status of dental hard tissues and the periodontium were studied in 30 patients with fractures of the jaws during the first days after treatment with splints and in the postimmobilization period. Sixty-seventy days after the splints were removed, the hygienic status of the oral cavity was worse than in normal subjects; moreover, the intensity of caries increased and the periodontal status deteriorated.
