Description

When a deciduous tooth is lost early than its normal exfoliation time, the teeth next to the edentulous area tend to migrate into the space, leading to the loss of space needed for the normal alignment of the permanent erupting teeth in the arch, leading to overcrowding and other kinds of malocclusion.The most typical application of a space maintainer appliance is to preserve the area formed by the early loss of a primary molar while waiting for its successor permanent teeth to erupt.This paper will describe a case study using an interim fixed functional space maintainer appliance.
