title: A new method for stabilization of periodontally involved teeth.
abstract: An approach is presented for the construction of an extracoronal temporary splint that meets the demands of stabilization in the presence of a compromised attachment apparatus. It is completely reversible and esthetically acceptable. It also combines the versatility of two often used materials--orthodontic grid material (for bracket placement) and self-polymerizing resins and composites, giving the combined effect of strength, stability and esthetics.
