Abstract |
A new, mobile splint for artificial crowns is suggested after orthodontic closure of a wide diastema mediale. A smooth mandibular movement in all excursions in considered essential. This approach sustains a physiologic load on the periodontium and prevents a recurrence of the diastema. The restorations in Fig. 6 have been stable and comfortable for 2 1/2 years with independent mobility of each tooth. Similar splinted prosthodontic devices inserted have also been successful.
