The various stages of periodontitis may require individual treatment for periodontal tooth mobility, ranging from simple occlusal therapy through splinting and non-surgical phase therapy to surgical phase therapy. The treatment of the periodontitis normally includes nonsurgical and careful periodontal medicines. However, at times might be restricted to just the nonsurgical periodontal treatment. Splinting serves two purposes: first, it stabilizes the teeth so that they can be treated with surgery in the future. Chalifoux expressed that supporting recoveries a critical number of versatile teeth however requires a serious level of clinical ability and demonstrative skill. Indications, contraindications, classification , merits, demerits and various splinting materials are all covered in this article. [1]
