title: [The Silcadraht adhesive splint--a new methods for the treatment of luxated teeth].
abstract: Splints for the immobilization of dislocated teeth have been attached to teeth with the enamal-cauterization-cement technique for the last six years at the Innsbruck Hospital. Semicircular silica wires proved to be so satisfactory with 92 patients that this method has now replaced the traditional splinting methods at our hospital. The secondary advantages are the simple production of the splint, painless application and removal, and complete protection of the periodontium. Occlusal disturbances are avoided, because the splints do not cover any of the occluding tooth surfaces.
