What is the best option after extraction of a hopeless tooth?,Placement of an implant-supported restoration
What is splinting in dentistry?,The process of stabilizing a mobile tooth by joining it with a healthy tooth (two or more teeth)
What are the methods of splinting?,"Temporary and provisional splints, Permanent splints"
What are the benefits of splinting?,"Decreasing the amount of forces and proper direction of force, Stabilizing teeth so that the occlusal forces are distributed to a combination of teeth rather than to an individual tooth, Preventing pathologic migration, Retaining the teeth in position, Preventing slanting or flaring"

What is the purpose of long-term provisional splints?,"Splinting and adjusting improper contact, contour, connector, esthetic problems, and design"
What is the purpose of a long-term provisional restoration in esthetic oral rehab cases?,To act as a blueprint for the final restoration
What are the guidelines for constructing a long-term provisional restoration?,"Assess adequacy of tooth reduction, Determine the clinical crown contours, Develop therapeutic occlusal arrangement, Control occlusal forces and assess function"
What is the purpose of a permanent splint?,To permanently stabilize teeth by joining them together
What are the options for a permanent splint?,"Fixed prosthesis, Resin bonded bridge, Removable denture, Combined fixed and removable prosthesis"
