- Dental materials science
- Restorative dentistry
Background:
- Temporary splints are crucial in dental restorations.
- Ideal characteristics for temporary splints include economy, simplicity, durability, and esthetics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To discuss the indications and characteristics of ideal temporary splints.
- To present a technique for fabricating extracoronal temporary splints for anterior teeth.
Main Methods:
- Utilized a self-polymerizing resin.
- Employed an enamel etchant for bonding.
- Focused on extracoronal splinting of anterior teeth.
Main Results:
- The fabricated splints demonstrated key properties of ideal temporary restorations.
- Achieved economy and simplicity in fabrication.
- Exhibited lack of irritation, compactness, durability, and good esthetics.
Conclusions:
- The presented technique effectively produces temporary splints with ideal characteristics.
- This method offers a practical solution for extracoronal anterior tooth splinting.
