Dental splinting is a dental procedure aimed at strengthening and stabilizing mobile teeth by joining them into a single structure using special materials. This method is used to stabilize the dental arch and preserve natural teeth in periodontal diseases and after traumatic injuries.
When is dental splinting required?
The procedure is indicated for tooth mobility associated with periodontitis and periodontal disease, after traumatic injuries to teeth and jaws, in cases of overload of individual teeth, as well as after orthodontic or surgical treatment. Splinting is used to prevent further tooth displacement and reduce the risk of tooth loss.
How does the treatment proceed?
Before splinting, a dental examination and assessment of the condition of the teeth and periodontal tissues are performed. Depending on the clinical situation, temporary or permanent splinting is selected using composite materials, fiberglass, or other fixation elements. The structure is fixed to the inner or outer surface of the teeth, ensuring their stability and even distribution of chewing load. After the procedure, the patient remains under observation to monitor the condition of the teeth and the effectiveness of splinting.
