Assessment of Periodontal Splinting Procedures Done Using Fiber and Composite Versus Wire and Composite

The most common indication for periodontal splinting is to improve the prognosis of mobile teeth and patient comfort and provide better control of the occlusion if the anterior teeth are mobile, which is much widely accepted by the patient rather than extensive and invasive long term periodontal surgery and regenerative procedures. The aim of the present study is to assess the Prevalence of the Fiber with composite vs wire with composite for splinting at Saveetha Dental College. Retrospective data of 281 patients was obtained and segregated. The inclusion criteria included 6-70 years age group, underwent frenectomy/frenotomy and visited between June 2019 to April 2020. Once the data was obtained it was statistically analyzed using SPSS by IBM version 20. Within the limits of the present study it is observed that the most commonly used material for splinting is wire and composite than Fiber and composite. Based on correlation and association tests a positive correlation was noticed between the type of splinting and the duration of splinting with a high statistical significance (p=0.001). Further awareness programmes that should be conducted to bring out better clinical outcomes and help the society holistically
