Periodontal splinting with wire and composite resin. A revised approach. 1980

D S Greenfield, and D Nathanson

A method for periodontal splinting of anterior teeth with wire and composite resins is described. The method combines the use of a double wire reinforcement shallow tooth preparation, and acid etching to obtain good strength and sealing properties. The sequence of steps are exclusively designed to suit the properties of composite resins. The technique has the advantages of conservatism and simplicity, good esthetics and strength that surpasses that of conventional wire and acrylic or composite splints.

D003743 Dental Enamel A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath.
