| A space maintainer is indicated in this situation, as shown in red in the drawing. A fixed unilateral band and loop space maintainer is an appropriate choice. It will prevent the maxillary right first permanent molar from moving forward, which would result in a loss of space for the unerupted bicuspid. A removable unilateral appliance would not be used because of swallowing and choking risks, even for older children. |
