Unilateral space maintainer. The denovo dental chairside space maintaining system is used to maintain the space due to the premature loss of a primary molar. Fixed bilateral space maintainers on the mandibular arch often are called lingual arch space maintainers. Fixed bilateral space maintainer fixed space maintainer applicable on upper arch of oral cavity covers right and left quadrant of the upper arch. Based on the original unitek space maintainer design it is possible to fabricate a unilateral space maintainer in under 15 minutes in one visit eliminating the need for labs and reducing tooth drift.

Space maintainers are passive appliances designed to prevent tooth movement following premature loss of primary teeth so permanent teeth can erupt into proper position. The device minimizes tooth drift which leads to crowding and crooked teeth and expensive future alignment procedures.
