Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Targis/composite fiber is a new type of non-metallic repair material that has good hardness and strength, but it is rarely reported on its application in the repair of young permanent tooth defects.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effect of Targis/composite fiber in repairing young permanent tooth defects.
METHODS: Sixty cases of young permanent teeth defects 10-17 years of age were enrolled, including 27 males and 33 females. All cases were subjected to Targis/composite fiber repairing. After 36 months of follow-up, alkaline phosphatase level, probing depth, gingival sulcus bleeding index, tooth mobility, plaque index, gingival crevicular fluid volume and aspartate aminotransferase level in patients were detected; the integrity and edge of dental prosthesis and the color matching.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 36 months, the alkaline phosphatase level in the patients had no significant changes (P > 0.05), but the probing depth, gingival sulcus bleeding index, tooth mobility, plaque index, gingival crevicular fluid volume and aspartate aminotransferase level were decreased significantly compared with those before repair (P < 0.05). Additionally, there were two cases of incomplete dental prosthesis, six of color mismatching, and two of unsealed prosthesis edge. These findings indicate that the Targis/composite fiber for repairing young permanent tooth defects has good histocompatibility maintains periodontal health in good condition, is a kind of ideal repair materials.
