Effective retraction is the way to predictable orthopaedic treatment with fixed dentures (literature review)

Abstract

The article presents a review of the literature on the analysis of various methods of preparing the ligamentous apparatus of the abutment tooth for orthopaedic treatment using various retraction techniques. The advantages and disadvantages of modern retraction systems are described. The criteria for choosing a method of preparation of the ligamentous apparatus of the abutment tooth in a certain clinical situation are analysed. Studying Ukrainian and foreign scientific publications related to the problem of correct gingival retraction, it should be noted that a differentiated approach to the choice of a retraction system is important. The variability of techniques allows you to choose the most appropriate preparation of the gingival sulcus for each clinical case. The effective orthopaedic treatment depends on the correct preparation of the gingival sulcus of the abutment tooth. To achieve a controlled result of the replacement of dentition defects with fixed orthopaedic structures, it is necessary to take into account the clinical features of the state of the ligamentous apparatus of the tooth. It can be concluded that the predicted orthopaedic treatment directly depends on the correctly performed retraction method. The selection of a retraction system must meet certain criteria and take into account the individual characteristics of the ligamentous apparatus of the abutment tooth of each patient.
