Calculus splint…? A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Introduction-Periodontal diseases are among the most prevalent diseases. The primary etiological factor for periodontal diseases is dental plaque. Inadequate oral hygiene leads to the calcification of dental plaque and results in the formation of dental calculus. Dental calculus in turn serves as a plaque retentive area, thereby contributing to the establishment of periodontal diseases.

Case report-The present unusual case is of a 24-year-old female patient reported to the Department of Periodontology   with a chief complaint of generalized mobile teeth in the upper and lower region. The patient was    found to have a very huge calculus mass in the mandibular anterior region and it appeared as a Die section and it was found that the patient was removing teeth 33, 32, and 41 as a unit and fixing them individually again with the help of tongue and calculus over that area to maintain esthetics. Younger generations believe their natural teeth are the most important key to maintaining their appearance.
