Space Maintenance by Hemisection of Primary Mandibular Second Molar: An Alternate Treatment Approach
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
As the premature loss of primary mandibular second molar results in space loss, a space maintainer is always indicated to prevent this space loss. However, there are certain disadvantages to the conventional fixed nonfunctional space maintainers in respect to the longevity of the appliance, undesirable effects on the abutment and the opposing tooth and patient compliance. The purpose of this case report was to discuss an alternative treatment option for space maintenance by hemisection of the fractured primary mandibular second molar followed by a cast crown restoration. The crown restoration was casted to reproduce the natural anatomy of the primary mandibular second molar and contact with the erupting permanent molar was established to aid in its proper eruption into occlusion.
