In vitro comparison of the flexibility of different splint systems used in dental traumatology

Abstract

The data show that the contention devices with the highest flexibility are the TTS and the Ribbond THM as they exhibit a lower energy variation needed for splint deformation compared with the other materials that were examined.

Rigidity evaluation of quartz‐fiber splints compared with wire‐composite splints

“…This model allows individual adjustment of tooth mobility using apical screws. The results of previous studies show an influence (3,4,(15)(16)(17)20) or positive correlation (4) between the initial tooth mobility and the splint effect. Influence of splint type on splint rigidity (P-values) ruptured fiber apparatus and hematoma within the widened periodontal gap.…”

“…In addition, the splint should enable the patient to conduct oral hygiene as well as comfortably load the teeth during mastication (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Adhesively attached trauma splints consist of various reinforcements such as wires, fiber materials, or fishing line; these splints fulfill most of these treatment-related requirements (3,4,10,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Trauma involving the periodontal ligament [PDL], after dislocation injuries, requires flexible splinting to allow the transmission of functional forces and improved outcome (3,5,8,9,11).…”

“…In addition, tooth mobility can be individually adjusted to simulate increased and physiologic mobility (1,13,19). The two most commonly used methods to evaluate splint rigidity in vitro are the dynamic Periotest Ò method (1-4, 10, 13, 14, 17, 19) and a static measuring technique using universal testing machines (13,15,16,19,20,27).

Endodontic Management of Luxation Injuries

“…A retrospective study of traumatic dental injuries in a Brazilian dental trauma clinic. 28 Periodontal ligamentin iyileşmesi için gereken süre 2-4 haftadır, ancak bu olguda olduğu gibi, alveol kemiğinde kırık olduğu durumlarda 8 hafta "splint"leme süresi önerilmektedir. Subluksasyon yaralanmalarında genellikle splintleme öne-rilmediği hâlde, bu olguda sublükse olan diş lateral luksasyon oluşmuş dişe komşu olduğu için "splint"e dâhil edilmiştir.…”

Çocuk Di̇ş Heki̇mli̇ği̇nde Travma Hastalarinda Kullanilan Spli̇nt Türleri̇

“…Orijinal anatomik diş pozisyonunun restore edilmesine olanak sağlamalı ve travmanın tipine göre immobilizasyon periyodu boyunca uygun fiksasyonu sağlamalı ve fleksibl olmalıdır [24][25][26][27] . Dental travma sonrası etkilenen dişlerin, akut periodontal lezyonlara bağlı artmış mobilitesini engellemek amacıyla komşu dişlere splintlenmesi gerekmektedir 28 . Adeziv diş hekimliğinden önce kök kırıkları altın, akrilik cap splint ya da arch barlar ile rijit olarak splintlenmiştir 29 .…”
