%X Premature primary tooth loss has been known to cause space loss with resultant malocclusion. Maintenance of the space may eliminate the need for prolonged orthodontic treatment; for which clinicians prescribe various types of space maintainers. In this century, pediatric dentists aim to incorporate esthetics while maintaining space, by giving esthetic space maintainers to children. Most commonly two different forms of esthetic space maintainers are in use. One designed with an orthodontic wire and other includes the use of Fiber reinforced composite (FRC). This paper describes two cases where space loss is prevented by the use of resin bonded esthetic space maintainers.
