Abstract

The primary dentition plays an important role in the growth and development of children in terms of speech, mastication, facial appearance, and the prevention of bad habits such as thumb sucking etc and also in the guidance and eruption of permanent teeth to replace the list primary teeth. Due to some situations such as premature extraction ,loss of tooth as result of extensive caries, delayed permanent teeth eruption may lead to mesial migration of teeth resulting in loss of the arch length in permanent dentition which will require space maintainers for prevention of  the malocclusion.
