Lone standing splinted implant segments are accepted as optimal. However, in the treatment of partial edentulism, clinical reality often predicates the consideration of splinting teeth and implants due to variables of tooth/implant location and available bone support. This article presents a review on biomechanical aspects of splinting teeth and some considerations of splinting teeth and implants. A proposed classification of splinting applicable to both teeth and implants is presented as well as a discussion of the clinical aspects of splinting illustrated with clinical cases.

Implants in prosthodontics have come a long way in the last 15 years. General dental practitioners today perform procedures that were once carried out only by highly trained specialists, and the subject is now taught to undergraduates in some dental schools. Harold Preiskel looks at the current techniques used in implantology and gives advice from his wealth of first-hand experience.
