Clinical Evaluation of 3-D Printed Partial Denture Space Maintainer

Tanta University40 enrolled

Overview

Primary dentition is the most suitable space maintainer for permanent teeth. However, as infants often lose their primary teeth too soon, using a space maintainer is the most efficient, long-lasting, and economical way to prevent malocclusions and function impairment in the future. Regarding personalized appliances, space maintainers in digital pediatric dentistry have made significant progress. Digital technology decreases the manual manufacturing stages that take a long time and increases the reliability and durability of digital fabrication procedures.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

clinical evaluation

the clinical performance of the partial denture space maintainers in the recall visits will be to assess: the Fracture of the space maintainer, and Lost or missing

Time frame: three months

gingival health

using a Williams periodontal probe, gingival index will be evaluated according to the following criteria: * 0: Healthy gingiva. * 1: There is mild inflammation, discoloration and edema, no bleeding on probing. * 2: Moderate inflammation, marked redness, edema, and bleeding on probing. * 3: Severe inflammation, prominent redness and edema, ulceration, spontaneous bleeding tendency.

Time frame: three months

plaque index

using a Williams periodontal probe, the plaque index will be assessed using the Silness-Loe plaque index: 0: Absence of microbial plaque, 1: Thin film of microbial plaque along the free gingival margin, 2: Moderate accumulation with plaque in the sulcus, 3: Large amount of plaque in the sulcus or pocket along the free gingiva margin.
