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