Abstract

Loss of permanent teeth due to caries has become prevalent in dental patients. Hence, in orthodontic treatment planning these spaces are either closed or maintained for prosthesis. Presented in this article is an innovative, modified lingual arch which offers space maintenance for prosthetic rehabilitation of missing mandibular first molars. It is not only easy but quick to fabricate too.
