Abstract
Ribbond is a biocompatible, esthetic material made from a highstrength
polyethylene fiber. Lenowoven polyethylene ribbon (Ribbond)
has been used successfully for tooth splinting, replacement of missing
teeth, reinforcement of provisional acrylic resin fixed partial dentures,
and orthodontic retention. This paper presents the application of this
polyethylene ribbon - RIBBOND as an esthetic space maintainer in
pedodontic practice. We suggest that this combined technique of
polyethylene fibers and composite material could be very efficient
alternative procedure to conventional unesthetic space maintainers in
pedodontic practice with excellent esthetics and functional results.
