title: A temporary-permanent splint.
abstract: A method of temporary permanent splinting has been presented which enables the clinician to stabilize anterior teeth aesthetically and rigidly without resorting to cast restorations. The method utilizes an acid-etch composite technique with T.M.S. Pins and has shown itself to be a rapid, cosmetic and durable alternative to either the temporary intra-coronal wire ligation or the more permanent gold prosthesis.
