The woven polyethylene ribbon is eletrochemically treated to make its surface chemically reactive to the composite or acrylic resins, causing it to become a truely integral, reinforcing member of the splint. The major advantages of the ribbon
material
are strength, flexibility and color, but contamination may fail the procedure so it is required caution during the precedures.
The results in clinical applications indicate that ribbon material was easy to manupulate and stayed in position on the teeth when placed, Especially it was some benifit in traumatized deciduous and mixed dentitions. So it was suggested that the
ribbon
may be useful teeth splinting method in traumatized teeth
