Introducing the Space Maintenance Calculator

Описание: Introducing the Space Maintenance Calculator, a cutting-edge tool designed to help clinicians make informed decisions when managing the premature loss of primary teeth. This tool allows you to determine the risk of space loss and evaluate its potential impact on the developing occlusion, guiding your decision-making process for whether a space maintainer is necessary.

The process is simple and systematic:
1. Space Loss Risk Assessment: Start by answering 8 key questions to mathematically calculate the risk of space loss following the premature loss of a primary molar.
2. Impact on Occlusion: Next, assess how potential space loss could affect the developing occlusion, recognizing that not all children are equally impacted by space loss.
3. Space Maintainer Selection: If the risk of space loss is significant and is likely to negatively affect the developing occlusion, the calculator helps you systematically select the most appropriate space maintainer for your patient.

This calculator empowers dentists to provide personalized care based on evidence-driven assessments, ensuring the best possible outcomes for young patients.
