A ‘splint’ is a device for supporting weakened tissues. Periodontal splints have been defined in a variety of styles. It is defined as a rigid or flexible device that maintains in position a displaced or movable part; also used to keep in place and protect an injured part. A splint does not make loose teeth tight. Only the removal of disease and subsequent healing can achieve a real reduction in tooth mobility. This review article is on Criteria for selection of Patient for Periodontal Splinting.
