Brief Summary

Space maintainers are appliances that applied when primary teeth were lost prematurely because of many reasons such as tooth decay, trauma, lack of germ of permanent tooth.4 Space problems play an important role in practice of dentistry and also understanding of the dental development in the primary and mixed dentitions could help to intercept the malocclusion.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of applied space maintainers on periodontal health and dental status after teeth missing in pediatric dentistry clinic.

Conditions
