Summary

The primary aim of this study is to introduce a new effective and efficient 3D printed design of an intra-oral space maintainer. The secondary aim of the study is to: Evaluate the clinical performance of 3D printed space maintainer versus conventional metal band and loop over a period of 6 months regarding their functional , biological aspects and patient satisfaction.

Detailed description

And will be conducted as follows: * In-Vivo evaluation of the clinical performance of 3D printed space maintainer versus metal band and loop concerning oral hygiene, retention and patient satisfaction. * A total of thirty healthy subjects will be selected from the Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health outpatient clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University. They will be divided using simple randomization in two groups: Group 1: Children with 3D printed space maintainer (n=15) Group 2: Children with conventional band and loop(n=15)
