Treatment with a Dental Implant After Removing the Resin from a Temporary Splint Due to Loose Front Teeth

Hello!

I am the director of Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic.

Today, I’d like to introduce a dental implant treatment case of a patient whose front teeth were loose due to periodontitis.

In particular, this case involved teeth that had been temporarily tied together with a temporary splint, so an accurate diagnosis and a step-by-step approach before starting treatment were especially important.

What is a temporary splint?

When the gums are in very poor condition and the teeth become loose together, a method of tying the teeth together to stabilize them is called temporary splinting.

A wire is attached to the tooth surface using resin, which temporarily reduces looseness.

However,

this is not a permanent solution because healthy teeth end up bearing the force of the damaged teeth together.

As time passes, even healthy teeth can be affected, and the prognosis for future treatment may worsen, which is the biggest problem.

Condition before treatment The patient visited the clinic with complaints of loose and uncomfortable front teeth.

The examination at the time showed:

1. Tooth looseness due to chronic periodontitis
2. Teeth tied together with a temporary splint
3. Alveolar bone resorption in progress, resulting in reduced bone height
4. Need to reassess whether some of the remaining teeth could be preserved

The patient said, “I can’t hold on any longer,” and wanted a fundamental treatment.

After sufficient consultation, we planned treatment to remove the splinted teeth and switch to implants.

Removal of temporary splint and extraction of the affected teeth (3 teeth) Implant placement and bone grafting at the extraction sites Keeping the existing implant and connecting it with a prosthesis Fabrication of temporary teeth to maintain function during the recovery period

Because there was bone loss due to periodontitis, we also performed bone grafting and focused on securing implant stability.

25.5.30 Work on making the implant teeth

Because these were front tooth implants, they were temporarily cemented so that the color and shape could be fully checked before final bonding. 25.6.5

Final condition check and tooth attachment 25.6.26

After the implant had stabilized sufficiently, we completed the final finishing.

Considering the patient’s bite condition and long-term maintenance, we fabricated the prosthesis using a customized method for each area.

A temporary splint can

temporarily reduce

the looseness of teeth,

but it is not a fundamental solution.

As time passes,

even healthy teeth can

deteriorate together, so

an accurate diagnosis and

appropriate timing of treatment are important.

If right now,

your teeth are loose and

it is difficult to eat, or if you have

a temporary splint but need

a more fundamental treatment,

please feel free to contact us anytime.

We will provide an accurate diagnosis and a customized plan based on your situation.

Thank you.
