Splinting. Where Safegaurd Culminates Into Rehabilitation

      Аннотация: Tooth function can be impaired by mobility. Strengthening of supporting tissues is required to reduce mobility and restoring function. Splints are used to immobilize traumatized teeth that suffered damage in their structures of support, preventing their constant movement. By redistribution of forces on the affected teeth, the splint minimizes the effects caused by loss of support. Splinting stabilizes the teeth as a unit by including healthy teeth, and redirects the forces from to individual teeth to the new unit as a whole including the healthier teeth that results in a new increase in crown root ratio and net decrease in force to the individual tooth, especially in a horizontal direction.
