A periodontal splint is an appliance used for maintaining or stabilizing or immobilizing mobile teeth in their functional and physiological positions.
The time period for retaining the periodontal splinting may vary from other types of traumatic splinting or orthodontic splinting.
Using Dentapreg strip, Dr. Eric Van Zytveld makes a fast and very esthetic perio splint to stabilize mobile teeth.
Dental splinting made with Dentapreg® SFM is indicated in the following clinical situations:
► Temporary stabilization adjunct to periodontal treatment (e.g. LANAP)
► Long-term stabilization during regenerative stage of treatment
► Palliative treatment to postpone extraction
