Abstract

The results of fixation of a luxated tooth using a vacuum-formed splint, formed on a plaster model after repositioning of the luxated tooth on the model are presented. This may be useful where the adjacent tooth gap is wide or only minimal anchorage and support are available from the adjacent teeth.
