Splinting of the Anterior Maxillary Teeth Using Glass-Ceramic Materials: A Case Report

The Open Dentistry Journal 31 December 2020 CASE REPORT DOI: 10.2174/1874210602014010711

Abstract

Objective:

The aim of this study was to present the technique of splinting anterior maxillary teeth using heat-pressed glass-ceramic material in a clinical case with long-term follow-up.

Clinical Considerations:

Various materials, including fiber-reinforced tapes, glass fibers, composite resin, and partial coverage metal frameworks, have been used as splinting materials with encouraging clinical results.

Conclusion:

As shown in the presented case, glass-ceramic heat-pressing materials can be used successfully for the splinting of anterior teeth.

Keywords: Splinting, All-ceramic materials, Partial coverage, Heat-press ceramic, Heat-press ceramic, Fiber-reinforced.
