A new method for stabilization of periodontally involved teeth

Area of Science:

• Dental Materials Science
• Prosthodontics
• Periodontology

Background:

• Compromised attachment apparatus requires effective temporary stabilization.
• Existing methods may lack reversibility or aesthetic appeal.
• Need for versatile and reliable temporary splinting solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a novel approach for constructing an extracoronal temporary splint.
• To achieve stabilization for teeth with compromised periodontal support.
• To ensure the splint is reversible and aesthetically acceptable.

Main Methods:

• Utilized orthodontic grid material for bracket placement.
• Incorporated self-polymerizing resins and composites.
• Developed an extracoronal splint construction technique.

Main Results:

• The constructed splint provides effective stabilization.
• The splint is completely reversible.
• The splint is aesthetically acceptable.
• The combination of materials ensures strength and stability.

Conclusions:

• The presented extracoronal temporary splint effectively addresses stabilization needs in compromised attachment apparatus.
• The technique offers a reversible and aesthetically pleasing solution.
• The combined use of orthodontic grid material and resins/composites yields a strong and stable temporary splint.
