ABSTRACT
Dental splinting is one of the mandatory stages of treatment in acute (dislocation, fracture of the root of a vital tooth) and chronic dental trauma, in the treatment of periodontal diseases, as it allows redistributing occlusal pressure, eliminating traumatic articulation and, as a consequence, compensating destructive processes in the periodontium.
The aim of the study. To develop an algorithm of tooth preparation for splinting.
Objects and methods. Our experimental and clinical studies, analysis of possible causes of errors and complications arising during the fabrication of adhesive splinting structures allowed us to develop an algorithm of tooth preparation for splinting.
Results and discussion. The algorithm of preparation of teeth for splinting includes several stages: clinical assessment of mobile teeth; radial methods of evaluation of dental hard tissues; planning the location of the splint on the tooth surface and fabrication of the splinting structure; selection of reinforcing material depending on the clinical situation; hygienic measures; endodontic treatment of mobile teeth according to medical indications; mechanical preparation of dental hard tissues.
Conclusion. Compliance with the stages of preparation of teeth for splinting will help to avoid errors occurring during immobilization of teeth.
