Namaskaram,
If teeth are very loose, they can be splinted or joined together like pickets in a fence so that any biting force is distributed among groups of teeth rather than individual loosened teeth.Splinting can be acheived by: 1. Temporary-splinting materials attached to tooth by bonding.
2.Permanent-through crowns. The term "root canal" is commonly used to describe a procedure for treating inflammation or a bacterial infection deep inside a tooth, as in "you need a root canal." The purpose of root canal treatment is to relieve the pain and stop the infection.
