ABSTRACT:
A dental splint for securing one or more loose, mobile teeth to one or more healthy abutment teeth is provided. The splint utilizes a dental preparation in the lingual or occlusal surface of the teeth and a bar. The preparation should conform to the cross-sectional configuration of the bar with a flat floor, and walls perpendicular thereto. The bar is then chemically bonded to the tooth structure, and a composite covers the bar which is also chemically bonded both to the tooth structure and to the bar. The splint, then, is a unitary structure.
