Abstract: Abstract A Titanium Trauma Splint with Integrated Stress-Relief Slots for Controlled Tooth Mobility During Healing Following Dentoalveolar Trauma The present invention relates to a titanium trauma splint for stabilization of teeth affected by dentoalveolar trauma while permitting controlled physiological tooth mobility during the healing period. The splint comprises an elongated titanium body having a plurality of bonding segments configured for attachment to one or more teeth using a dental adhesive material. One or more integrated stress-relief slots are formed within the splint body between adjacent bonding segments. The stress-relief slots function as localized elastic compliance regions that undergo controlled deformation under functional loading, thereby reducing stress concentration at the tooth–splint–adhesive interface and promoting more uniform distribution of occlusal forces. The invention provides an optimized balance between rigidity and flexibility, enabling adequate stabilization of traumatized teeth while allowing physiological mobility that supports periodontal ligament healing. The splint may be fabricated from commercially pure titanium or titanium alloys using manufacturing techniques including CAD/CAM machining, laser cutting, precision milling, or additive manufacturing. The invention is applicable to the management of dentoalveolar injuries including subluxation, luxation, avulsion following replantation, root fractures, and alveolar process fractures. By incorporating integrated stress-relief slots into the titanium splint body, the invention provides improved biomechanical performance, enhanced patient comfort, reduced stress concentration, reliable stabilization, and favorable biological healing compared with conventional trauma splinting systems.
