The use of removable partial denture splints in the treatment of postsurgical tooth mobility.
The theory and clinical use of removable partial denture splints has been offered as a tenable solution to the problem of postsurgical tooth mobility. The close cooperation of the periodontic and prosthetic specialties is in many cases vital to the ultimate success of treatment and longevity of the dentition. Although not presented as a panacea, it is hoped that clinicians will bear this clinical entity in mind as an option in the treatment of periodontally debilitated dentitions.
