This photograph demonstrates the same principle, when a unilateral fixed space maintainer is needed on the maxillary right side. In this case, stainless steel crown therapy was needed on the second primary molar. Therefore, a crown and loop space maintainer was used. Please note that distal to the crown and loop space maintainer is an erupting first permanent molar. The dynamic phase of eruption is occurring, and this is when space maintenance is the most crucial.
