Lone standing splinted implant segments are accepted as optimal. However, in the treatment of partial edentulism, clinical reality often predicates the consideration of splinting teeth and implants due to variables of tooth/implant location and available bone support. This article presents a review on biomechanical aspects of splinting teeth and some considerations of splinting teeth and implants. A proposed classification of splinting applicable to both teeth and implants is presented as well as a discussion of the clinical aspects of splinting illustrated with clinical cases.
