When both the first and second deciduous molars are missing in the same quadrant, __________ is preferred

Contraindications of distal shoe include inadequate abutments due to multiple loss of teeth, poor oral hygiene, missing permanent first molar, lack of patient and parent cooperation, and presence of medical conditions such as blood dyscrasias, congenital cardiac defect predisposing to subacute bacterial endocarditis, history of rheumatic fever, diabetes, general debilitation, premature loss of deciduous teeth, and loss of primary __________

The main concern with the loss of mandibular primary incisors is based on esthetic, speech, and __________

Early loss of lower primary incisors is generally due to ectopic eruption of permanent incisors in reflecting excessive incisor __________

The distal shoe space maintainer is indicated when there is bilateral loss of molars after the permanent incisors have erupted in the lower arch, and it lacks the __________

A Nance appliance is preferred when both primary molars have been lost bilaterally to prevent __________

Poor oral hygiene is a contraindication for using a distal shoe due to inadequate __________

The presence of medical conditions is a concern when using a distal shoe to prevent complications such as subacute bacterial endocarditis in patients with congenital cardiac defects and a history of __________

The major consequence of early loss of maxillary primary incisors includes esthetic, speech, and __________ concerns

Premature loss of deciduous teeth can lead to issues such as poor esthetics, speech problems, and __________ of the dental arch

Premature loss of primary canine, especially mandibular, is a significant indicator of a tooth size arch discrepancy. The consequence of early loss of lower primary canine includes shift in midline toward side of loss, lingual collapse of incisor segment, and possibly deepening of ______.

If ectopic eruption involves bilateral loss of both lower primary canines, there is a pronounced lingual inclination and distal drifting of permanent incisors, deepening of overbite, and increased ______.

Early loss of maxillary primary canine may result in crowding and blockage of permanent canine because it erupts too late in normal transition. This is an indicator of early orthodontic treatment with an understanding that the child is a definite candidate for comprehensive ______ intervention.

If one primary canine is lost during incisor eruption, it may be desirable to extract the contralateral primary canine to maintain symmetry. Crowding problems requiring such intervention strongly indicate a significant arch length deficiency that will become grossly evident during permanent canine and ______ eruption.

A lingual holding arch may be used with spur attachments to control incisor positioning and prevent encroachment on permanent canine eruption positions when primary canines are lost ______.

An anterior appliance incorporating artificial primary teeth may be considered to satisfy aesthetic and functional needs. Acrylic partial denture has been successful in replacement of single and multiple maxillary primary ______.

A fixed option may be considered using primary incisors denture teeth secured from a rigid stainless steel wire. This may be extended to bands or stainless steel crowns on the primary molars, a so-called 'hollywood' ______.

The ectopic loss of maxillary primary canine occurs less frequently than does mandibular loss. When it occurs, ectopic loss of maxillary primary canine typically reflects a very distal eruptive displacement of permanent lateral incisors and not necessarily a significant tooth mass problem. Resultant crowding and blockage of permanent canine may occur because it erupts too late in normal ______.

If bilateral loss of both lower primary canines occurs, pronounced lingual inclination and distal drifting of permanent incisors, deepening of overbite, and increased overjet may be observed as ______ consequences.

Early loss of maxillary primary canine is an indicator of early orthodontic treatment. It may result in crowding and blockage of permanent canine due to late eruption, emphasizing the need for comprehensive orthodontic ______.
