Abstract Ribbond is a biocompatible, esthetic material made from a high-strength polyethylene fibre.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 for the treatment of nursing bottle caries. To conclude we suggest that this combined technique of polyethylene fibers and composite material could be very efficient alternative procedure to conventional treatment plans in Pedodontic practice with excellent esthetics and functial results Top |
