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.
