Unlabelled: The paper discusses the reasons for using periodontal splints, together with advantages and disadvantages of their use. Different splinting techniques and criteria for selecting the most appropriate method are described. The need for care in planning treatment is emphasized. It is essential that, if the degree of attachment loss is such that splinting is likely to be needed, this is taken into account in the treatment planning at an early stage.
Clinical Relevance: Used correctly, periodontal splinting can greatly improve the comfort, prognosis and outcome for a patient with serious periodontal disease. But used incorrectly, splinting can cause further deterioration in periodontal health.

Rehabilitation of Atrophied Maxillary Bones With Short-Splinted Implants in a Periodontitis Patient: A Six-Year Follow-Up Case Report.

This case report aims to report the successful use of a short-splinted implant in a patient with a history of periodontal disease. Two implants were used to rehabilitate severe atrophied alveolar ridge with fixed prosthesis. Despite the left posterior ridge being weakened by maxillary sinus pneumatization and bone remodeling after tooth extraction, no bone grafts nor sinus osteotomy procedures were needed for the rehabilitation surgery.

This study is aimed at detailing a technique for digitally fabricated fixed restoration for both immediate replacement after extraction and splinting of the adjacent mobile teeth. Demand for a fixed restoration of the missing teeth in the mandibular anterior region is very common but sometimes problematic for dentists. It often happens that there is significant loosening of the remaining teeth adjacent to the missing tooth, which should be splinted.

To evaluate the effect of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) periodontal splints and splints made from other materials under static loading on stress distributions in periodontal tissues, cement layer, and splints themselves. A finite element model based on cone-beam CT imaging data of a 25-year-old male patient (treated at the Department of Prosthodontics, School of Stomatology, The Fourth Military Medical University in October 2021 for a cracked maxillary molar) with a healthy and intact mandibular dentition and periodontal health was constructed. The finite element model included anterior mandible dentition, mandibular bone model without bone resorption (WBR group), a periodontally compromised mandible model (control group), and three types of periodontal splints: a PEEK periodontal splint (0.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how effective CAD/CAM technology is in designing and manufacturing 3D-printed dental models for creating splints for children with dental trauma.
- Researchers treated 28 patients, splitting them into two groups: one received CAD/CAM-based splints and the other wire-composite splints, with follow-ups over 24 months.
- Results indicated that while both splint types had similar outcomes, the CAD/CAM splint showed higher pulp survival and periodontal healing rates, suggesting its potential for reducing treatment-related injuries.

Background: Dental implants have been essential to the therapy of patients who are partially edentulous.
Aim: Clinical evaluation of the long-term survival and success rates of different types of implant-supported prostheses.
Materials And Methods: Patients who had a healthy edentulous ridge of three missing teeth in the posterior jaw in which two or three dental implants were placed having any of three prostheses, namely, three-unit fixed dental prostheses (FPD) on two implants, three splinted crowns on three implants, and three splinted crowns on three implants were included.
