| This is a space maintainer which is similar to the one shown previously. Please note the occlusal rest designed on the loop wire. This is placed to prevent the mandibular right first permanent molar from tipping and causing the wire to imbed apically in the tissue distal to the first primary molar. Thus, the occlusal rest helps prevent the tipping motion of the first permanent molar. |
