• Abstract >
• 
<p>Premature loss of primary teeth may result in space loss and subsequent malocclusion. This case report describes the management of an 8-year-old patient who underwent extraction of the mandibular right primary first molar due to extensive caries. A band and loop space maintainer was fabricated and placed to preserve arch space for the eruption of the permanent successor. Follow-up demonstrated successful maintenance of space and proper appliance stability. Early intervention with a simple fixed appliance can effectively prevent future orthodontic complications.</p>

• Abstract >
• 
<p>In clinical practice, bone grafts are frequently utilized as a structural scaffold and filler material to promote bone regeneration and improve wound healing. Usually, these materials are bioresorbable, which means that over time, natural bone progressively replaces them. Crucially, they don't cause antigen-antibody interactions and are biologically compatible. Apart from their structural function, bone grafts act as a storehouse of vital minerals that stimulate and encourage the growth of new bone tissue.</p>
