[A randomized controlled clinical study on the immediate fabrication of band-and-loop space maintainers using a domestic computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing system].
Abstract
Band-and-loop space maintainers fabricated with a domestic CAD/CAM system exhibit favorable clinical efficacy in space preservation for pediatric patients with early loss of deciduous teeth. Additionally, they offer advantages over conventional maintainers in plaque control and maintenance of gingival health compared with conventional maintainers.
