Dental traumatic injuries are widespread in the population and are a frequent pathology among children and teenagers. Dentists and especially pediatric dentists are commonly confronted with managing dental crown root fractures on a regular basis. Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) have been used as an alternative to conventional space maintainers in pediatric dentistry. We present here a case of a 11-year-old boy with oblique crown root fracture, treated by placing extracted natural crown with FRC as space maintainer.

Background: The best space maintainer in both primary and mixed dentition is the primary tooth itself. This is not only because of the clinical crown but also due to the presence of the roots and periodontium that guide the eruption of the permanent tooth. Although over the years many materials have been tried for obturation of pulpectomized primary teeth, no material has been found to fulfill all requirements.

Unlabelled: Preserving deciduous teeth till their natural exfoliation is important to maintain arch length in different dentition periods. Premature loss of primary teeth may cause discrepancy in arch length due to drifting of teeth and supraeruption of the opposite teeth, thereby hindering the development of a harmonious, functionally and esthetically acceptable dentition. This article describes the fabrication and clinical application of a modified functional distal shoe appliance used due to pathological obliteration of the primary/deciduous mandibular second molar prior to the eruption of the permanent mandibular first molar.

Premature loss of primary teeth can lead to crowding, rotation, ectopic eruption and impaction of permanent teeth. All of these issues can be reduced or avoided through proper preventive and interceptive orthodontic procedures including the use of space maintainers and space regainers, many of which require two visits and a laboratory phase for fabrication. The 'Junaidi space regainer' is an attempt to make the space regaining procedure simpler and easier.
