  • Title: Post-orthodontic splinting of periodontally-involved teeth.
    Author: Saravanamuttu R.
    Journal: Br J Orthod; 1990 Feb; 17(1):29-32. PubMed ID: 2310737.
    Abstract:
    Shortcomings of techniques presently available for the stabilization of periodontally-involved teeth following orthodontic therapy are discussed. The rationale for rigid fixation of such teeth is questioned in the light of modern concepts of tooth mobility. An inexpensive technique of tooth stabilization based on wire and composite resin is described. The technique permits fixation allowing for individual periodontal adjustment, yet with minimal interference with tooth structure and the occlusion.
