Conservative Management of Dentoalveolar Trauma Using Conventional Composite and Wire Splint: A Case Report

Dentoalveolar trauma resulting from external or internal forces, causes major psychological effects on individuals, particularly in children. Optimal splinting is required to treat dentoalveolar traumatic injuries to stabilize and protect the teeth as well as for pulpal and periodontal healing. Luxation and pulpal necrosis of the affected teeth are the main consequences of dentoalveolar trauma. This case report demonstrates the successful management of a hopeless tooth demonstrating external root resorption and sinus formation, due to dentoalveolar trauma in the mandibular anterior region, in a 13-year-old male patient using the regular composite wire splinting method.
