“…The avulsed tooth was splinted using a round stainless‐steel wire with a 0.5 mm diameter that was fixed from canine to canine using hybrid composite applied with a fifth‐generation bonding system. Steel wire has probably been the most commonly used splint worldwide . The advantages of wire–composite splinting systems include low material cost, good availability in dental clinics, ease of modification into a rigid splint by twisting the wire or adding composite in the interdental regions, and high strength .…”

Tooth avulsion is a type of dental injury defined as the complete displacement of a tooth out of the alveolar socket, and the lack of prompt treatment measures can result in the loss of function, poor quality of life, and psychological and social problems. However, several factors may not permit the immediate replantation of an avulsed tooth; therefore, delayed replantation has emerged as an alternative to meet the esthetic, functional, and psychological demands of patients. Here it was described that the successful replantation of an avulsed maxillary central incisor in a 9‐year‐old boy who presented at the clinic with the tooth stored in unfavorable conditions as dry and then in olive oil‐milk mixture almost 10 h after the event. The tooth has remained in its socket healthy for 16 years after treatment. The patient was satisfied with both esthetics and function.

“…9 The longer periods and rigid splints that increase risk of healing complications 10 are being replaced with shorter period and flexible splints 9 , where mechanical stimulus exerted by light movement of teeth favours revascularization process and is capable of preventing tooth ankylosis and maintaining the vitality of Hertwig's epithelial root sheath. 11 For a long time, wire composite splints had been used, but because of the common failure of these splints at the resin-tooth interface due to less bond strength, 12 recently fibre glass splints 13 had been developed. However, as the advocated splints were difficult to fabricate and remove, contributing to the injury of soft and hard supporting tissues, the development of newer materials had been encouraged.…”

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the flexibility of three different splints and to determine their peak load failure in fracture pattern.Material and Methods: Three different splints (wire-composite, single layer fibre glass and fibre reinforced Everstik splint) were adapted to the extracted Human incisors, placed in a non-rigid fashion on the experimental dental models designed for the study. Stress analysis was conducted on the test specimens by applying both static axial and 45⁰ oblique force with linear increasing intensity ranging from 0-50N and 0-30N respectively both with and without splints using universal testing machine. For each loading direction, the energy required to modify the position of the teeth at increasing applied forces was recorded for specimens with and without splints and the difference between two values (∆E) was determined, which corresponds to the rigidity of the materials.Results: For both axial and oblique tests, fibre reinforced splint had shown least ∆E values (0.02±0.08 in axial, 0.01±4.05 in oblique) while wire-composite had shown highest ∆E values (0.67±2.56 in axial, 1.42±5.16 in oblique).Conclusions: Fibre reinforced splint could be an ideal alternative for splinting traumatized teeth, as it exhibits a lower energy variation needed for deformation and conducive to optimal periodontal healing during immobilization.

Dentoalveolar trauma is considered an emergency condition and is challenging for every dentist. As primary and permanent teeth may suffer repercussions from an injury, a therapist must be mindful of which situations the use of splinting methods is required. In dentistry, a splint is a rigid or flexible device with the function of supporting, protecting, and immobilizing teeth that have been weakened (endodontically, periodontally), traumatically injured, replanted, or fractured. Generally, splinting is not recommended for primary teeth injuries such as luxation and avulsion. In permanent dentition, splint appliances are indicated for periodontal injuries, such as subluxation, luxation and avulsion, and hard tissue injuries such as class IV root fractures. Nowadays, there are many appliances that may be used for immobilization of traumatized teeth. Since this issue may sometimes be confusing for dental practitioners, this chapter deals with splint classification (rigid and flexible), the basic characteristics of splints, the indications, and methods of application.

Stiffness characteristics of splints for fixation of traumatized teeth

Abstract: Of these TDI splints, DFG should be avoided for flexible splinting because it is too stiff. PC may be an interesting novel alternative, affording sufficient mobility due to its low stiffness.
