Device for temporary dental splinting

摘要

For the temporary fixation of teeth, teeth rows or jaw parts, the device has a wire (9), on which annular composite carriers (7) are movably arranged. The composite carriers (7) can, for example, be flexible synthetic material rings of cross-section in the form of a truncated cone, through which the wire (9) is guided by means of two holes (8) arranged in the walls, which lie opposite one another, of the composite carriers (7).PPThe new splint makes possible the exact positioning of the composite carriers (7) which are arranged movably on the wire (9) and can be deformed at will by hand. After a caustic pretreatment of the tooth surface, the composite carriers (7), which are joined together by means of the wire (9), are placed on the teeth row to be connected and the cavities (A) of the composite carriers (7) are filled with composite (K) which surrounds on all sides the wire (9), which runs at a distance from the tooth surface, and connects both the wire (9) and the composite carriers (7) stably to the tooth surfaces. PPUse for the temporary fixation of traumatically dislocated teeth after their repositioning or for post-operative immobilization of jaw parts. The decisive advantage of the device is that it can be used not only by dentists, but also in particular by non- dentally trained personnel, that is to say emergency doctors, surgeons and auxiliary medical personnel.
