The purpose of this study was to evaluate, in replanted rat upper first molars, through histological analysis, the effect of splinting upon postoperative events related to the tooth and its supporting structures.
Seventy-two male albino rats were used in order to analyze the effect of splinting upon periodontal healing after molar replantation. The animals were sacrificed after 2, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 60 days. The authors concluded that splinting of the replanted teeth :
a) Contributes to limiting the apical migration of the muscou membrane epithelium and favors epithelial reattachment.
b) Contributes to reducing the degree of external root resorption and the degree of resorption of the alveolar bone wall.
c) Creates better conditions for healing of the periodontal ligament and favors the revascularization of the pulp.
