Periodontal diseases lead to tooth mobility and, as a result, disorganization of the stomatognathic system. To stabilize the teeth treatment of the disease often begins with temporal immobilization, contributing to uniform distribution of masticatory pressure, compensating destructive processes. Objective of the study. Increasing the effectiveness of complex treatment of generalized chronic periodontitis. Material and methods. Have been examined clinically and para-clinically 12 patients, aged between 38 and 58 years (fig. 1). For temporal splinting mobile teeth in complex treatment of patients included in study, adhesive, non-invasive method by using system Interlig was used (fig. 2). Results The analysis of data of clinical and para-clinical examination of patients included in the study allowed diagnosing generalized chronic periodontitis of different degrees. Temporal imobilization of periodontally compromised teeth, as an important part of complex treatment have marked disappearance of discomfort during mastication, significant decreasing the pain in the gums, disappearing gingival bleeding, decreasing the depth of periodontal pockets. Positive dynamics of changes of periodontal indices were obtained compared to the values obtained until treatment. Microbiological examination revealed a significant decreasing the number of periodontopathogens (tab.1). Conclusions. In periodontal diseases correlated with pathological teeth mobility, temporal immobilization being integral part of complex treatment increases his effectiveness, contributes to stabilization of result, eliminating pathogenetic mechanisms that support the hemodynamic disorders in periodontium
