A combined use of the acrylic and wires which are inserted into the root canals exhibits the great retention. As a result, this modified splint can serve for several years and has the following advantages:
1. It has retention better than that of a well made temporary splint and can be maintained in the mouth for a long time.
2. It can be used in occlusal discrepancies such as rotated or inclined teeth.
3. It does not impinge on the gingival tissues and thus allows for good oral hygiene.
4. It is an esthetic splint.
5. It delays the need for extractions.
6. It forestalls expensive and time-consuming dental rehabilitation.
7. It may be considered a long-range semi-permanent splint without a high frequency of breakage.
