SPLINTING
It’s a boon that comes as a solution or treatment to its effect, mobile teeth, because of trauma or periodontal pathology.
If the teeth have trauma, it is transferred to the support structure, due to which the support structure is damaged v fast, resulting in tooth mobility. For the purpose of healing, these teeth require support so that damage does not occur, and for this purpose, splinting is the best form of treatment for teeth stabilization.
In this technique, mobile teeth are fixed together with the assistance of healthy sound neighboring teeth using a wire fiber. By splinting, the biting or occlusal forces are evenly distributed, which reduces the pressure on traumatized teeth.
Classification of Splinting
Temporary Splinting
It is done for a shorter period of time, which is achieved by uniting the teeth.
Permanent Splinting
Used for the permanent splinting of periodontally compromised teeth; that are having severe bone loss.
Techniques & Methods
Extra-Coronal Splints
Placed on top of the tooth
In this technique, the materials for splinting are fixed on a group of teeth, usually by bonding on the enamel, making it more stable.
Intra-Coronal Splints
Placed inside the tooth
This includes making a small groove-like channel on the inner part of the teeth surface; a metal wire in the shape of splint is placed inside this.
Some cases, joint crowns may be given too, which will also act as a splint for the adjacent mobile teeth.
