Dental splinting is a procedure used to stabilize loose teeth by bonding them together, typically with a wire or fiber-reinforced composite material. This technique helps to distribute biting forces evenly among the teeth, preventing excessive movement and promoting healing of supporting structures like gums and bone.
Fixed splinting: Involves bonding the loose teeth together using a wire or fiber-reinforced composite material. This method provides immediate stabilization and can be used for both short-term and long-term stabilization.
Dental splinting is commonly used in cases of periodontal disease, trauma, or following dental procedures to support and stabilize loose teeth, improving function and preventing further damage. You will learn about different methods in this session by our experts Dr Venessa Liberatus and Dr Zaiba Anjum.
