An Esthetic and Functional Fixed Posterior Space Maintainer-A Case Report.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction Early loss of a deciduous tooth is one of the major causes for development of malocclusion. Space maintainers are the appliances that are custom-made by the dentist to prevent the space loss and its further complications. Sometimes esthetics is also a concern along with function and space management in posterior region. Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) retained space maintainer solves all these requirements efficiently and effectively. Although, the technique is very simple and the appliance is very comfortable inside the oral cavity. Here is a case of premature loss of posterior deciduous tooth which was replaced by FRC retained esthetic functional space maintainer. The appliance was found to be esthetically and functionally satisfactory inside the oral cavity till the last visit (1 Year).
