Today, more and more dentists offer their patients spend splinting the dentition. Why is this done? Method strengthens loosened teeth tightly connecting between an x. And many are interested in: how reliable such a grip? So whether it is useful, as it is spoken by some experts?
Immediately you should decide: is splinting of emergency indicators (in the case of fractures and dislocations of the jaw, teeth), and there splinting, strengthening parodontitny dentition, which due to the inflammation goes too bone level, and as a result individual teeth become loose and fall out in any threaten moment.
Even 20 years ago, our dentists periodontal disease called periodontitis, and practically it is not treated, and if treated, it is likely, harmful practices than helpful in any way. And now to the aid of domestic dentists in this matter came splinting, which We used in cases where none of the other way (from the most - harmful) to strengthen the tooth in the gums are not It succeeded.
Certainly gives some splinting "firming effect" as "snaps" (sometimes literally - with using ligature wire) loose tooth to the fact that still kept and serve as a supporting support. Especially because with the advent of the era of composite and glass fiber in dentistry teeth (their back surface) become glued fiberglass tape, which turns several adjacent teeth problematic a "bridge." Thus strengthening the dentition stands still for a while, but then begin complications. What kind? Let's investigate.
The modern splinting there are downsides. And the biggest of them - the inability to qualitatively to clean food debris that clogged between the teeth and cause plaque deposition. This provokes inflammation of the gums (gingiva and this and so not too healthy, just stagger teeth and need to be strengthened).
Any dental splint - a powerful barrier to the normal oral hygiene and, in particular, toothbrushing. And the only way out - it's such its installation, in which between the teeth can be passed at least irrigator or brush. This design and will last longer and will not hurt, but experts who know how to carry out splinting so little.
Another disadvantage of the method of strengthening the dentition using overlay tire - difficulty functioning periodontal ligament, which allows the teeth during chewing spring, damping and other accidental impacts. When splinting this ligament is usually degraded, leading to problems with the periodontal tissues.
Thus, today, with periodontal disease most effectively manage surgical techniques. So practice. And if they do not change anything for the better, there are only implants.
Of course, splinting is able to delay the replacement of the dentition. But not for long, and at great cost: the deterioration condition of the teeth and gums, even greater omission bone behind the tire wearing time is very likely. If the bone is omitted, then the implants will have nowhere to put. It requires serious reconstruction surgery, which is also the result of a little predictable. And then - only removable dentures, significantly reduces quality of life.
