Space Maintainer
Space maintainers are fixed or removable appliances that protect the space for permanent teeth that will come in place of prematurely lost milk teeth.
Early loss of baby teeth can cause various problems. The most important of these is the crowding that occurs as a result of not protecting the permanent tooth space under the baby tooth. This problem that may occur in the future can be prevented with space maintainers that will be used following tooth extraction.

Procedure
Space maintainers are divided into two categories: fixed space maintainers and removable space maintainers. Fixed space maintainers are generally used in cases where a single tooth is missing, while removable space maintainers are used in cases where more than one tooth is missing. Fixed space maintainers are usually metal appliances that are fixed to the tooth behind the extraction cavity with an adhesive, and can only be attached and removed by a dentist. Removable space maintainers are appliances that the child can attach and remove on their own, and consist of wire and acrylic parts. Space maintainers should be used under the supervision of a dentist until the teeth appear in the mouth.

Space Maintainer
Space maintainers are devices that protect the space for permanent teeth to come from below instead of prematurely lost milk teeth. They are divided into two groups as fixed and removable space maintainers.
While fixed space maintainers are generally used in cases where a single tooth is missing, removable space maintainers are used in cases where more than one tooth is missing. It is not necessary to use a space maintainer for every missing primary tooth. The dentist decides whether a space maintainer is necessary based on clinical and radiographic examination.
