A mandibular removable bilateral space maintainer is shown on a six year-old. This youngster prematurely lost the mandibular right and left first and second primary molars. The disadvantages of a removable appliance are that it may not be worn by the patient and it is more susceptible to breakage or loss by the patient. To reiterate, most clinicians prefer to place fixed space maintainers if possible. |
