title: Use of self-etching adhesive system and compomer for splinting traumatized incisors.
abstract: 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.
