Abstract
An apparatus and method are described for splinting teeth, the apparatus comprising a splint formed from a flat and relatively think rigid sheet, with two support prongs extending in opposite directions from each other and connected by an arch portion. The method is comprised of applying the splint, in aligned grooves cut into the labial or lingual surface of two adjacent teeth, each groove being large enough to accommodate the splint. The grooves are partially filled, with a flowable resin and the splint is then embedded in the composite resin in the grooves.
