title: Suture splint: an alternative for luxation injuries of teeth in pediatric patients--a case report.
abstract: Stabilization of replanted tooth "splinting" is done to prevent further damage to the pulp and periodontal structure during the healing period. Suture and bonded resin splint is passive, semirigid and functional splint. It is easy to fabricate directly in mouth without lengthy laboratory procedures. A case is presented in which suture and bonded resin splint was performed on laterally luxated maxillary central incisor and avulsed lateral incisor. The splint was removed after one week and sufficient periodontal and gingival healing was observed.
