Abstract
|
|
|
|
Mandibular permanent first molars have a mesiocclusal eruption pattern, guided by the distal surface of the primary second molar. If the primary second molar is lost prematurely, the permanent first molar may erupt in a more anterior position leading to midline shifts, space loss and crowding. The distal shoe space maintainer remains an acceptable and effective with an extension subgingivally which serves as a guide for the erupting first molar.
