Use of self-etching adhesive system and compomer for splinting traumatized incisors.
Traumatized teeth that are displaced from their normal alveolar positions need to be repositioned and stabilized so that healing can occur. Orthodontic ligature wire bonded into place with resin-based composite works well for splinting teeth. Using a self-etching adhesive bonding system and compomer material facilitates both the resin bonding and its removal. This clinical report describes a simplified resin/wire splinting procedure.
