Splinting of teeth is the combination of a certain group of teeth into one solid block to redistribute the chewing load in order to prevent their loss.
The unification of teeth is required when they are highly mobile, which occurs with periodontal disease.
Movable teeth are combined with healthy and more stable ones, so that the chewing load is distributed more evenly. With this method, the “life span” of mobile teeth is doubled.
Typically, fiber strands or tapes are used for combining.
It is important to say that hygiene is difficult at the installation site of such a design. Therefore, it is necessary to visit the dentist more often and carry out professional oral hygiene once every 2-3 months. Otherwise, periodontitis will be provoked and caries will worsen.
