Stabilization technique for mobile teeth

A new technique for immobilization of teeth uses inexpensive, readily available, medically acceptable, and biocompatible nylon thread. Three monofilament nylon threads of sizes between Nos. 25 and 40 are interwoven to a braid to form, along with the threaded pins, the stabilization media. A channel along the stabilized teeth is prepared; the braid is placed in it and fastened onto the teeth with the help of pins, which are threaded on them through the braid. The advantages of this method are also presented and discussed.
