title: Bonded composite resin/ligature wire splint for stabilization of traumatically displaced teeth.
abstract: Two cases in which tooth splinting was required after traumatic dental injuries are documented. In each patient, an acid-etch-retained composite resin/ligature wire splint was used to stabilize displaced teeth after they were replaced into their proper positions. The step-by-step splinting technique is described, and the rationale for the method is reviewed.
