Periodontal splinting with wire and composite resin. A revised approach.
A method for periodontal splinting of anterior teeth with wire and composite resins is described. The method combines the use of a double wire reinforcement shallow tooth preparation, and acid etching to obtain good strength and sealing properties. The sequence of steps are exclusively designed to suit the properties of composite resins. The technique has the advantages of conservatism and simplicity, good esthetics and strength that surpasses that of conventional wire and acrylic or composite splints.
