Technique and rationale for splinting.
Stabilizing teeth after impact injuries is an essential consideration in endodontic therapy. The basic method of treating avulsed, luxated, or fractured teeth should incorporate the orthodontic wire and the acid-etch splinting system. In some particular situations, a simple donut splint, a cross-suture sling, and cemented occlusal acrylic splint have been more useful. All of the splints are economical, efficient, and easy to use in the emergency treatment of injuries.
