Distal Shoe Space Maintainer for the Premature Loss of Primary Second Molar in a 5-Year-Old Patient: A Case Report

Uneventful loss of deciduous second molar, afore the eruption of first permanent molar could lead to unadorned malocclusion due to undesired loss of space in the arch, tipping, crowding of the dental arch and many other dental problems. So, to avoid further occlusal complications, it is desirable to place a space maintainer after successful extraction of the carious primary molar. This case report describes the removal of a primary mandibular second molar, followed by delivery of a distal shoe appliance before the eruption of the first permanent molar.
