Abstract: A system for reimplanting avulsed teeth includes a dental splint having a pre-shaped channel that releasably engages a dental arcade having one or more avulsed teeth. The avulsed teeth are reinserted into their sockets and the dental splint is positioned over the dental arcade. The dental splint is worn continuously until reattachment is substantially attained. One embodiment provides masticatory surfaces to the dental splint that assist a user in eating while wearing the dental splint. Another embodiment provides a resilient layer to an engagement surface of the dental splint, which conforms to and engages the dental arcade. Adhesives may be disposed between the dental splint and the dental arcade when necessary.

Abstract: A system and method treats periodontal disease by using intraoral light emission, which kills disease-causing pathogens. One aspect uses a fiber optic periodontal probe that may be positioned closely adjacent gum tissue and between teeth. Another aspect uses fiber optic strands intermixed with bristles that may be used as a toothbrush. The system may be provided with interchangeable tips. A rechargeable power source may power the light within the system as well as an agitator that may be coupled with the tips.
