Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Traumatic dental injury is one of the main causes of premature loss of maxillary anterior teeth in school going children, causing psychological trauma both to patient as well as parents. In that situation, choice of treatment is maintaining the space by fixed/removable or functional/nonfunctional appliances1. A variety of therapeutic modalities, from removable partial dentures to conventional fixed space maintainer can be used for the replacement of traumatically missing or carious lost primary anterior teeth2. In anterior region, esthetics is an important concern along with function and space management. Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) space maintainer solves all these purposes efficiently and effectively. In addition, the technique is simple and the appliance is very comfortable inside the oral cavity3. This case series of premature loss of anterior primary teeth which were replaced by FRC retained esthetic functional space maintainers. The appliances were found to be functioning satisfactorily upon follow-up of 1 Year.
