Abstract
The indications and characteristics of ideal temporary splints have been discussed. A technique has been presented using a self-polymerizing resin with an enamel etchant for extracoronal splinting of anterior teeth. When properly fabricated, the restoration has most of the properties of an ideal temporary splint: economy, simplicity of fabrication, lack of irritation, compactness, durability and esthetics.
