Abstract
Ultraviolet-light-polymerized bonding materials are used to construct temporary splints for patients with excessive mobility of one or several anterior teeth after periodontal surgery. A technique is described for temporary splinting of teeth with ultraviolet-light-polymerized bonding materials. The enamel surfaces of teeth to be splinted are acid conditioned, and a layer of fissure sealant (adhesive primer) is polymerized onto the conditioned surface. The splinting material is placed on the hardened surface. When the distribution, bulk, and contour is satisfactory, the material is polymerized. The splints are rigid, durable in function, and well tolerated by the patients. In contrast to the current clinical techniques for temporary splinting, this method involves no destruction of tooth structure and the appearance of the splints is acceptable.
