18
Q

INDICATIONS

  1. Premature loss of 2nd primary molar prior to eruption of 1st permanent molar.
  2. If the tooth needs a crown restoration.
A

CROWN AND LOOP APPLIANCE

19
Q

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

  1. Absence of abutment tooth.
  2. Tooth to be used as an abutment is not ideal.
A

CROWN AND LOOP APPLIANCE

20
Q

INDICATIONS

  1. Bilateral loss of a primary molar before the eruption of the permanent incisors.

2.When 2nd primary molar is lost after the eruption of the 1st permanent molar.

A

BAND AND LOOP APPLIANCE

21
Q

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

  1. Absence of abutment tooth.
  2. Abutment tooth not ideal
A

BAND AND LOOP APPLIANCE

22
Q

Crown and loop appliance is removed prior to eruption of the ____________________________

A

permanent second premolars

23
Q
  • Used when second primary molar requires extraction and first permanent molar has not erupted.
A

DISTAL SHOE SPACE MAINTAINER

24
Q

INDICATIONS

Patients is not medically compromised

Primary 2nd molar is not restorable.

A

DISTAL SHOE SPACE MAINTAINER

25
Q

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Inadequate abutments due to multiple loss of teeth.

Poor oral hygiene.

Lack of parent or/ and patient cooperation

Medically compromised patient.

A

DISTAL SHOE SPACE MAINTAINER

26
Q

used to prevent the 1st molars from moving mesially and to maintain space to compensate for the deciduous teeth that may have prematurely erupted and are expecting permanents to erupt soon.
* It’s a simple maxillary lingual arch but does not contact anterior teeth
* It has an acrylic button in the mid palate.

A

NANCE APPLIANCE

27
Q

INDICATION

  • For maxillary only
  • Prematurely lost deciduous
  • First molars need to be prevented from coming forward (main purpose of the appliance)
  • Bilateral loss of the maxillary primary molars
  • Unilateral loss of more than one tooth in the maxillary arch
  • Used as anchors for moving other teeth, it is anchored to give stability to the molars and for it not to move mesially.
A

NANCE APPLIANCE

28
Q

CONTRAINDICATION

  • Allergies to resin
  • When the permanent 1st molars have not erupted because these are used for anchorage, they are the most preferred for anchorage
  • Posterior crossbite involving malposition of the maxillary first permanent molar
A

NANCE APPLIANCE

29
Q
  • A space maintaining appliance is comprised of stainless steel rings (bands) around posterior teeth (usually molars) a stainless steel wire that passively contacts the lingual surfaces of the teeth.
  • Used to maintain the posterior space in the primary dentition.
  • The lingual arch is often suggested when teeth are lost in both quadrants of the same arch.
A

LOWER LINGUAL HOLDING ARCH

30
Q

PARTS OF LLHA

A
  • Two bands – cemented to two lower molars.
  • U-Shaped bar – Stainless steels wire attached to the bands.
     Passively contacts the lingual surfaces of lower teeth.
31
Q

INDICATIONS
* Loss of second primary molar in the mandible
Bilateral loss of primary teeth in the mandibular arch during transitional dentition
* Maintenance of arch perimeter and incisor positions
* Prevent lingual tipping of the incisors
* Modification of lower lingual arch with omega loops
* Activation of loops help flare anteriors with some distal movement of permanent molars

A

(LLHA)

32
Q

CONTRAINDICATIONS

  • In primary dentition since permanent mandibular incisors and first molars have not yet erupted.
  • Lingual eruption of permanent mandibular central incisors is interfered by the wire.
A

LLHA

33
Q

INDICATIONS:

  • Bilateral loss of the maxillary primary molars or loss of more than one tooth in the maxillary arch.
A

TRANSPALATAL ARCH

34
Q

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

  • Soft tissue problems
  • Bilateral loss of molars
  • Palatal torus
  • Before eruption of the permanent molars
  • Certain class II malocclusion in which upper 1st premolars are removed
  • In class III non surgical cases
A

TRANSPALATAL ARCH

35
Q
  • The appliance is typically used when more than one tooth has been lost in a quadrant.
  • It is often the only alternative because there are no suitable abutment teeth and because the cantilever design of the distal shoe or the band and loop is too weak to withstand occlusal forces over a two-tooth span.
  • Not only can the partial denture replace more than one tooth, it also can replace occlusal function.
  • Two drawbacks of the appliance are retention and compliance.
A

REMOVABLE APPLIANCE

36
Q

INDICATION
1. When aesthetics is of importance.
2. In case the abutment teeth cannot support a fixed appliance.
3. In cleft palate patients who require obturation of the palatal defect.
4. In case the radiograph reveals that the unerupted permanent tooth is not going to erupt in less than five months time.
5. If the permanent teeth have not fully erupted it may be difficult to adapt bands.
6. Multiple loss of deciduous teeth which may require functional replacement in the form of either partial or complete dentures.

A

37
Q

CONTRAINDICATIONS

  2. patients who are allergic to acrylic material.
  3. Epileptic patients.
