Denovo’s Chairside Space Maintainer System:
Based on the original Unitek™ design, fabricate a pediatric space maintainer appliance all while chairside. With a little practice the procedure only takes 15 to 20 minutes and also only requires one patient visit. Just fit a band size (choose from 39 full and half sizes) to the gap adjacent tooth, similarly size to the gap space by adjusting the wire length, crimp and cement. The kit does not include Cement but any glass ionomer will work.
Technique:

Question: I want to order just a few (a dozen or so) bands and wires for primary max. and mand. teeth but don't have any idea how these bands are sized. Can you give me an idea what the various numbers mean? i.e. are the linked to a measurement in milimeters or the like?
Answer: The sizes are the length of the band in millimeters if the band were cut and stretched out flat (identical to the Unitek style of sizes). This allows you to measure the diameter of a tooth (using dental floss or other similar material), and by measuring the length (in millimeters) determine the band size required. We would recommend starting with a full introductory kit to make sure you have all the sizes you need. The kit will end up paying for itself after 2-3 procedures, and after using it a couple of times you'll be able to know which sizes to re-order.
