Splinting Of Fractured Tooth at AHEAD Academy...

Splinting of anterior loose teeth was done for a lady who met with an accident three months back.. Although the techniques require a high degree of clinical skill and diagnostic expertise, they save a significant number of teeth. Gum disease is the main cause of loose teeth in adults and of tooth loss. Gum disease, if left untreated will result in the loss of the surrounding tissues that hold teeth in place. Anterior dental trauma is a common injury pattern of the dentoalveolar system in which appropriate first aid is important. When children and adolescents suffer an anterior dental trauma, the challenge is to preserve the tooth in this esthetically important area and minimize subsequent damage. Lack of treatment or improper treatment can lead to a lifelong need for dental care.
