Maintaining the child's oral cavity in optimal health by preserving the morpho-functional integrity of primary teeth, given the influence they have on the growth and development of the stomatognathic system is the duty and responsibility of the pedodontist. In addition to prevention, increased attention should be granted to the space control in case of early loss of primary teeth in the support area, recommending the use of space maintainers until the eruption of permanent successors, to intercept the appearance of future anomalies.
