Aim:TocomparetheclinicalsuccessrateofFiberReinforcedCompositeResinspacemaintainerwiththatofConventionalBandandLoopspacemaintainerinchildrenofagegroup6-8years.

Methodology:Atotalof60subjects(31girlsand29boys)ofagegroup6to8yearsrequiringspacemaintenanceduetoprematurelossofprimarymolars.ChildrenwhoreceivedFibreReinforcedCompositeResinandBandandLoopspacemaintainerswerecategorizedasGroup1andGroup2respectively.Subjectswererecalledattheendof1st,3rd,and6thmonthsforevaluationofbothtypesofspacemaintainerswhenclinicalsuccessrateofbothtypesofspacemaintainerswereevaluated.Treatmentacceptabilityduringandaftertheprocedurewascheckedusingsix-pointWong-BakerFacesScale.
