Space control in the primary and mixed dentitions.

G Z Wright, D B Kennedy

    Dental Clinics of North America
    |October 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Space control requires dentists to assess occlusal development, unlike routine space maintenance. Dentists should evaluate variables and re-evaluate decisions for optimal patient dentition development.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Pediatric Dentistry

    Background:

    • Distinguishing space control from space maintenance is crucial in pediatric dentistry.
    • Space maintenance can become a mechanical procedure, overlooking developmental factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To differentiate space control from space maintenance.
    • To review variables influencing space control and appliance selection.
    • To emphasize dynamic re-evaluation in pediatric dental care.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of scientific literature on space control and maintenance.
    • Analysis of factors influencing appliance selection.
    • Discussion of common space control appliances.

    Main Results:

    • Space control necessitates a dentist's knowledge of occlusal development and patient assessment.
    • Appliance selection depends on various clinical variables, not a fixed formula.
    • Dynamic re-evaluation is key to effective space control.

    Conclusions:

    • Space control is an active process requiring clinical judgment and re-evaluation.
    • Dentists must consider individual patient development when choosing space control strategies.
    • Effective space control optimizes long-term dentition outcomes.
