Tooth splinting for severely mobile mandibular incisor teeth in a dog.

Periodontal disease, in its advanced stages, causes tooth mobility. The tooth movement further damages the periodontium, accelerating the disease process leading to tooth loss. Dental splinting can provide coaptive stability to the teeth as an important component of a periodontal treatment plan. This report documents results four years following splinting of the mandibular incisor teeth in a 3 year old Miniature Schnauzer dog.

Management of an avulsed deciduous incisor. Report of a case.

The avulsed primary tooth poses problems in its treatment and management. This case report on the long-term management of an avulsed deciduous incisor produced some diagnostic findings. Reattachment of the periodontal fibers occurred after 2 weeks of splinting. The normal eruption pattern was not delayed and secondary spacing occurred. Turner's hypoplasia occurred on the succedaneous tooth, but it was minimal. Replantation of avulsed deciduous teeth should be considered as a treatment modality under ideal conditions.

Splinting of traumatized teeth with focus on adhesive techniques.

Splinting of traumatized teeth is an important step in the treatment of periodontally injured teeth and a precondition of healing of the periodontal tissues. Although it has been shown in animal experiments that replanted teeth without splinting showed analogous healing outcomes compared to splinted teeth, the placement of a splint in dental trauma situations is warranted for medico-legal reasons, for the comfort of the patient, and for the avoidance of additional trauma during periodontal healing. Ideally, the splinting of traumatized teeth should be an easy and fast procedure for the dentist. Trauma splints should be comfortable and easy to keep clean for the patient. The splint should allow some physiologic mobility to promote healing of the periodontal tissues. The widely used and recommended wire-composite splint, with material variations, meets the ideal requirements of current splinting concepts in dental traumatology. Times of using destructive tissue-coverage splints are definitely gone. They are too rigid, compromise periodontal and gingival healing, and are uncomfortable to the patient. The objective of this article is to present the current concepts in splinting of traumatized teeth. The given recommendations about splinting techniques and splinting periods are based on experimental and clinical studies.

A parallel tube provisional splint technique.

Splinting does not replace occlusal and periodontal therapy, but it is frequently a useful adjunct to such treatment. A parallel tube splint technique that is effective for provisional splinting and simple to place has been presented. It does not require extensive tooth reduction or restorative dentistry, nor does it result in overcontouring or problems for the periodontal tissues (Figs. 16 to 19). The splint is easy to clean and maintain; it is also inexpensive when compared to other types of splints. Clinical evaluation of this technique is continuing and will be reported at a later date.

The effect of splinting on tooth mobility. I. During initial therapy.

The purpose of this study was to assess whether fixed splinting aided in the reduction of posterior tooth mobility during initial therapy. A "split-mouth" approach was used in order to compare splinted segments with similar unsplinted segments. Seven patients were selected, all of whom demonstrated chronic destructive periodontitis and mobile teeth. Initial therapy, consisting of oral hygiene instruction, root curettage and occlusal adjustment, was performed over a 2-week period. At the time of initial therapy, teeth in contralateral segments were splinted with an intracoronal wire-and-acrylic splint. Tooth mobility and gingival inflammation were recorded in all four segments every 3 weeks for a 15-week monitoring period following initial therapy. The splints were removed before each data recording session and then replaced and the occlusion refined. Prophylaxis and oral hygiene instruction were repeated every second week throughout the monitoring period. The reduction in the mobility of teeth splinted during the entire therapy period did not differ from the reduction observed in the unsplinted segments. The reduction in tooth mobility observed in both the splinted and unsplinted segments over the 17-week period can be attributed to the improved occlusal relationships and reduction in inflammation.

Periodontal trauma and mobility. Diagnosis and treatment planning.

With the dearth of well-controlled human clinical studies, it is still impossible to answer the question of whether occlusal trauma modifies the progression of attachment loss resulting from inflammatory periodontal disease and the companion questions related to the treatment of occlusal trauma and mobility. Teeth with stable mobility are apparently at no greater risk of attachment loss than nonmobile teeth. Increasing mobility is a concern that must be addressed by inflammatory control, occlusal adjustment, and perhaps some type of stabilization or splinting of the tooth in question. In addition, greater attachment gains have been noted when occlusal adjustment was included as part of surgical therapy. There is no question that aspects of occlusal therapy have an empiric base. It is incumbent on the clinician to examine for, diagnose, and treat trauma from occlusion to stabilize the dentition. Proper occlusal management assists in maintaining the patient's natural dentition in a state of health and comfortable function.

Maintaining the oral health of splinted teeth.

The combined and concerted efforts of patients and providers in poststabilization maintenance promote long-term health for the dental splint and its surrounding and supporting soft and hard tissues. Dental splints that are properly placed and contoured enable effective patient self-care and contribute to a positive prognosis. The provider's role in fabrication, placement, and oral hygiene instruction cannot be overemphasized. Professional follow-up concerning periodontal and caries risk assessment, periodontal débridement, and needed preventive interventions are critical to splint longevity. Continued success cannot occur without scrupulous patient self-care. The professional team must provide patients with comprehensive oral care instruction. A host of home care aids are available to assist patients in effective home care practices. With the combination of proficient clinical skill, appropriate dental material selection, good communication, and comprehensive health education, both providers and patients can benefit from esthetic, functional, and healthy dental splints.

[The index assessment of periodontal status in the combined treatment of patients with generalized periodontitis].

The authors compare the periodontal status in 94 patients with moderate periodontitis over the course of treatment making use of various splint designs and without splints. The status of the periodontium was assessed basing on the time course of indexes. Administration of various multiple-modality treatment schemes resulted in improvement of the periodontal clinical status in all the patients, though the efficacy of the therapeutic measures was different. The improvement in respect of all the examined parameters was the most manifest only in the group of patients treated with fixed splints with parapulpal fixation or with those pickling-based.
