Basic Space MaintainersBasic Space Maintainers
• Are PASSIVE
– .036 wire is very heavy and should not be used to actively move teeth
Before Placing a Space Before Placing a Space MaintainerMaintainer
• Evaluate Arch Length– Has the space already been lost?– Is there excess space?
• Appropriate Radiographs– Succedaneous tooth?– Time to Eruption?
• Patient/Family Compliance
Space Maintainers are Space Maintainers are Simple!Simple!
Name the 4 most basic pediatric Name the 4 most basic pediatric space maintainersspace maintainers
Basic Space MaintainersBasic Space Maintainers
• NANCE (Transpalatal Arch with Acrylic Button Stop on Palate)• LOWER LINGUAL HOLDING ARCH
(LLHA)
• BAND/CROWN and LOOP
• DISTAL SHOE
Distal ShoeDistal Shoe
• MAXILLARY or MANDIBULAR
• Used when second primary molar requires extraction and first permanent molar has not erupted
Distal ShoeDistal Shoe
• Should be evaluated with radiograph prior to cementation– Length– Position
• Will be replaced with another space maintainer when permanent teeth erupt.
Distal ShoeDistal Shoe
• Example of use in partial eruption case.
Nance ApplianceNance Appliance
• MAXILLARY ONLY
• Bands on first permanent molars
Nance ApplianceNance Appliance
• Cross Palatal Bracing prevents rotation #3 and #14 around palatal root- this starts mesial migration of #3 and #14
• Acrylic Button provides additional stop
Transpalatal Holding Arch (TPA)Transpalatal Holding Arch (TPA)
• Can be used like a Nance.
• Advantage– Lack of acrylic button
so less tissue irritation and more cleansible
• Disadvantage– Lack of anterior stop =
possible tooth shift (?)
Lower Lingual Holding ArchLower Lingual Holding Arch
• MANDIBULAR ONLY
• Bands on first permanent molars
• Anterior Stop = Cinguli of #23-#26
Lower Lingual Holding ArchLower Lingual Holding Arch
• Mandibular incisors often erupt lingually and are pushed forward by the tongue
• LLHA should not be placed with primary incisors
#K and #T Extractions : LLHA #K and #T Extractions : LLHA Indicated?Indicated?
• NO- note lingual eruption #23 and #26
• Option: Reverse Crown and Loops
#L-19 and #S-30.
**LLHA will be placed 2-3 years later, prior to loss of #L and #S. Simply cut off loop and leave SSCs.
LLHA Omega LoopsLLHA Omega Loops
• Omega Loops in area of premolars allow slight adjustment to fit appliance
• Should not be used to activate appliance
Appliance Activation FeaturesAppliance Activation Features
• Can be added by attaching light wire features
• This is beyond routine space maintenance
Band/Crown and LoopBand/Crown and Loop
• MAXILLARY or MANDIBULAR
• Unilateral most typical• Can be bilateral if
permanent teeth are not present
• Single tooth span
Crown and LoopCrown and Loop
• Stronger than band and loop
• Cementation failure or loss less likely
• Excellent choice if tooth needs a restoration
What About Removable What About Removable Appliances?Appliances?
• Yes, they are possible, however………..• High failure rate due to breakage and loss• Parent and patient compliance must be exceptional
Which Space Maintainer?Which Space Maintainer?
• Distal Shoe = 2nd Primary Molar Extraction with unerupted 1st Permanent Molar
• Nance or Band/Crown Loop = Maxillary problem with 1st Permanent Molars present
• Lower Lingual Holding Arch = Mandibular Problem with 1st Permanent Molars and Permanent Incisors present
• Band/Crown and Loop= Primary 1st Molar Extraction
Must I Plan to Replace a Must I Plan to Replace a Band/Crown and Loop ?Band/Crown and Loop ?
• All depends on ERUPTION SEQUENCE
– No, in maxillary arch– Yes, in mandibular arch- may need LLHA
later– Why? Canine should exfoliate prior to eruption of 1st
premolar, making space maintainer defunct.
Space Maintainer CompetencySpace Maintainer Competency
• The following cases require space The following cases require space maintainer consideration. Assume that maintainer consideration. Assume that radiographs have been taken, there is no radiographs have been taken, there is no abnormal pathology (other than dental abnormal pathology (other than dental caries), and a successor is developing. caries), and a successor is developing.
• Please answer the questions on your Please answer the questions on your worksheets.worksheets.
Question 1Question 1
• What tooth was extracted? How old is this child?• What is the appropriate space maintainer?• Will it have to be replaced with a different space
maintainer in the future? If so, with what?
Question 2Question 2
• What tooth was extracted? How old is the child?• What is the appropriate space maintainer?• Will it have to be replaced with a different space
maintainer in the future? If so, with what?
Question 3Question 3
• Which teeth were extracted? How old is the patient?• What is the appropriate space maintainer?• When can the space maintainer be removed?
Question 4Question 4
• Which teeth were extracted/• What is the appropriate space maintainer?
Question 5Question 5
• Which teeth have been extracted? How old is the child?• What is the most appropriate space maintenance?

DiscussionDiscussion
Question 1Question 1
• 5 or 6 y.o. child. Tooth #I extracted.
Question 1Question 1
• Band/Crown and Loop #J-H• Will not need replacement. #12 should erupt
before #H or J exfoliate
Question 2Question 2
• Tooth #L extracted. 3-5 y.o. child.• What is the appropriate space maintainer?• Will it have to be replaced with a different space
maintainer in the future? If so, with what?
Question 2Question 2
• Band/Crown Loop #K-M• May need to be replaced by LLHA later. Tooth
#M should exfoliate prior to eruption #21.
Question 3Question 3
• Teeth #A and #J extracted. Patient 8-9 y.o.

• Lower Lingual Holding Arch (LLHA) #19-#30
Question 5Question 5
• Teeth #K and #S extracted. 5-6 y.o. child.• Because permanent incisors are not erupted, LLHA not
recommended. Options: Reverse band and loop #L-#19 and band and loop #T-#R.

Justin Tx PlanJustin Tx Plan
• Extract all maxillary primary teeth– #A,B,J- Multiple caries and near exfoliation– TE #C and #H due to root formation #6 and
#11
• Restore #3 with direct M composite
• Restore #14-MO• Place Nance Space Maintainer- slight space
deficiency, but this will be very beneficial.
