Abstract
The conservation of primary teeth in form and function until their normal exfoliation is one of the fundamental objectives of pediatric dentistry. Not only is it important for normal speech, development, and self-esteem, it is the best way to preserve arch length and avoid secondary issues such as space loss and permanent tooth impaction.
