ABSTRACT

Dental splinting is one of the most ancient procedures in dentistry; however, up-to this day continues to be a valuable tool for the control of teeth mobility. Currently, the use of splinting techniques should be endorsed by solid knowledge of periodontal disease and occlusal trauma. It is presented a fairly common situation at dental clinics in patients with advanced periodontal disease in the lower anterior teeth, great chewing discomfort, lack of security in speech are usually present. In order to solve these problems is proposed a permanent splinting by an alternative simplified and functional technique seeking the maintenance of periodontally involved teeth. This resource is valuable for patients with low income that cannot receive conventional prostheses or implants.
