Abstract
The untimely loss of primary teeth in young children is a common problem leading to vast number of adverse effects like malocclusion, loss of arch length, loss of function and psychological effects on the child. Thus, prompt treatment with the placement of space maintainer is necessary. Fixed space maintainers are universally preferred by clinicians and patients. However, they are not functional and long-time wear will result in supra-eruption of the opposing teeth. The present paper discusses three cases wherein traditional band and loop and lingual arch space maintainers were modified and made functional.
