[Indications and preparation of a fluoride splint]

The individually produced fluoride miniplastsplint is suitable for application in preventive dentistry, for the therapy of cervical demineralisation and hypersensitive root surfaces. The models must be measured with a "parallelometer" so that the exactness and tightness of the splint can be guaranteed. A space with room for occlusal stops guarantees the necessary place for the gel containing fluorides. The patient must wear the splint once a week for half an hour.
