As a result of our in-vitro study, the semi-rigid/rigid Quartz Splints can be recommended for the treatment of hard tissue injuries such as horizontal root fractures or alveolar process fractures. The tooth-colored Quartz Splints provide good esthetic results and can be recommended, especially in cases when long-term splinting is required or for patients with frequent public exposure.
