Abstract

Tooth mobility is often experienced by patients, especially patients with periodontal disease. Periodontal disease
causes the loss of tooth support so the tooth becomes mobile. The signs of periodontal disease or periodontitis
include occasional bleeding gums, bluish red gums, shiny, and tooth mobility. Splint is used to unite one or more
teeth to form a single entity so that it can reduce tooth mobility. There are some splints used as supporting therapy
of periodontal disease patients to stabilize the tooth before further actions are carried out.
