EndodonticsStabilization of avulsed tooth requires 1-2 weeks of splinting. This short period is recommended because: 1) Brief splinting allows periodontal ligament healing without ankylosis, 2) Extended splinting (>2 weeks) increases risk of replacement resorption and ankylosis, 3) Early mobilization promotes functional healing of periodontal ligament fibers, 4) Studies show optimal healing occurs with flexible splinting for 7-14 days, 5) Longer periods compromise the natural healing process and increase complications. Rigid or prolonged splinting should be avoided.

Physiology
The enteric nervous system is the intrinsic nervous system of the gastrointestinal tract and is responsible for the regulation of digestion and other gastrointestinal functions. It can operate independently of the central nervous system and consists of a network of neurons and glial cells that are embedded within the wall of the gut, coordinating local reflexes and influencing the muscle and secretory activities of the digestive system.
