J&J Ortho™ Orthodontic 2nd Molar Space Maintainer Band & Adjustable Loop Optional Size ProcedureThe steps involved in the fabrication and placement of the band a loop space maintainer are: Band selection and placementImpressionModel fabrication and lab workCementationThe following special instruments are used in the fabrication and placement of the band and loop space maintainer: A mouth mirrorAn explorerBand seaterBand burnisherBand removing pliersA scaler type instrumentAnd a sectional impression trayProphylaxis equipmentFlour of pumiceAnd a band cementing materialBand SelectionA preformed stainless steel band is selected to snugly fit the abutment tooth of the space maintainer. Finger pressure may be used for initial band placement while final occlusal-gingival seating is achieved with the use of a band seater. By applying pressure to the occlusal aspect of the band using the band seater and the patient's biting force one is able to drive the band gingivally. A burnisher may then be used to achieve the final adaptation of the band onto the grooved surfaces of the tooth. The correctly fitted preformed stainless steel band is seated out of occlusion, is difficult to displace and displays no voids between the band margin and the abutment tooth surface. ImpressionOnce the band is selected and appropriately placed, the operator is required to take an accurate impression. This impression should, at a minimum, include the abutment tooth with the fitted band in place, the edentulous area, and the tooth anterior to the edentulous area. A sectional impression tray is then loaded with either alginate or compound and the impression is taken. Once the desired set of the impression material is achieved, the impression may be removed and examined for appropriate detail. If the impression is satisfactory, the band may be removed using a band removing plier or a scaler type instrument. The band should then be placed in the impression and stabilized using wax and a heated wax knife. It is essential that the band is secure within the impression prior to model fabrication as a band that is easily displaced will lead to an ill-fitting space maintainer. Model and Loop FabricationFollowing band stabilization, dental stone is poured into the impression in order to produce a working model. Once the stone has achieved its full set, the working model may be separated from the impression and loop fabrication may begin. The loop is comprised of a 0.036 inch stainless wire that is contoured to fit the band and edentulous space. A properly contoured loop will: parallel the edentulous tissue space,lie approximately 1mm above the gingival tissues,reach the distal surface of the tooth anterior to the edentulous space just below its contact point,have sufficient width buccal lingually to permit unobstructed eruption of the permanent tooth,and should not impinge on either the tongue or buccal mucosa.Once all of these criteria have been satisfied, the loop, initially held in place using sticky wax, can then be permanently soldered to the band and polished. CementationPrior to cementation, the band and loop should be tried in to ensure that it fits the tooth and edentulous space as intended. It should also be confirmed that the band and loop does not interfere with the patient's occlusion. While minor adjustments may be made to the loop using orthodontic pliers, a grossly ill-fitting space maintainer should not be inserted. In these instances of poor fit, the previous steps should be repeated until a satisfactory result is achieved. Once the appropriate fit is achieved, the abutment tooth should then be pumiced, rinsed, dried and isolated. The band is then loaded with cement to cover all internal surfaces and as few as possible external surfaces. On insertion, the band must be positioned onto the abutment tooth in exactly the same manner described in the fitting procedure, using both finger pressure and a band seater. Additional burnishing of the band margin against the abutment tooth surface can then be completed following final band seating. Following the final adaptation of the band margins excess cement is then removed from the occlusal surface, the gingival crevice, and all other hard and soft tissue surfaces in the oral cavity. Maintenance and Evaluation of Fixed Space MaintainersPatients with the band and loop space maintainer must be evaluated at recall appointments to reassess the fit and stability of the appliance as well as the patient's oral hygiene. The degree of eruption of the permanent tooth for which the space is being maintained must also be assessed. Parents should be made aware of this and should contact the dentist at the first sign of any looseness, change in the appliance, or complaint from the patient as untreated appliance failure may necessitate more complicated treatment in the future. Appliance RemovalThe impending eruption of the permanent tooth for which the space is being maintained is an indication for appliance removal. Impending eruption may be determined using clinical and/or radiographic evidence whereby the occlusal surface of the succedaneous tooth is shown to have reached the alveolar crest. Once the desired eruption of the succedaneous tooth is achieved, the band and loop space maintainer can be removed using the band removing pliers.
