"From mobility to stability" is what every Periodontist aims at.
For centuries dentists have been trying to stabilize loose teeth.
The periodontally compromised dentition offers many opportunities
to debate the efficacy of splinting. It frequently addresses the
therapeutic goals of treatment, including patient comfort with
mastication and retention of teeth after orthodontic intervention.
Dental splints that are properly placed and contoured enable
effective patient self-care and contribute to a positive prognosis.
Continued success cannot occur without scrupulous patient
self-care. With the combination of proficient clinical skill,
appropriate dental material selection, good communication and
comprehensive health education, both providers and patients can
benefit from aesthetic, functional and healthy dental splints. We
hope that these notes will provide a straightforward theoretical
base on which the post-graduate and undergraduate may build
knowledge on mobility and splinting and develop an interest in the
speciality of Periodontics.
One of the major problems in studying dental diseases and its
factors is the development of a suitable, practicable method for
recording and classifying the occurrence and severity of the
disease. Lord Kelvin once stated that, "until you can count it,
weigh it, or express it in Quantitative fashion, you have scarcely
begun to think about the problem in a scientific fashion."Dental
index can be considered as the main tool of epidemiological studies
in dental diseases, to determine the incidence, prevalence and
severity of the diseases based on which preventive programmes are
adopted for their control and prevention. This manuscript is an
attempt to make an update on indices used in oral diseases and will
be useful to the professionals who are involved in research
projects.
