Space maintainers are used to preserve the space after premature loss of teeth but they could effect some factors that play a role in caries formation. The research aimed to assess the impacts of removable and fixed space maintainers on the salivary pH, flow rate, and Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus carriage.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
