Injury to the teeth can affect supporting structures, which also get damaged. This can lead to mobility of the teeth. Such mobile teeth require splinting for a specified period of time till the supporting tissues heal and the tooth becomes stable.
It is a procedure where the teeth are supported in its position for a specific period of time. This is done to teeth that are injured or teeth whose supporting structures are affected by disease, which prevents them from supporting the teeth. Splinting involves binding a group of teeth together so that the biting forces are shared by a group of teeth instead of being borne by the affected tooth.
At Rajan Dental Institute we use ‘Ivoclar Vivadent’ brand for fiber splinting.
