The New Era of Pediatric Dentistry: Advances in Crowns, Preformed Space Maintainers, and Prevention

Pediatric dentistry continues to evolve with advances in restorative materials, prefabricated treatment options, and preventive strategies that help clinicians provide more predictable and child-friendly care. Stainless steel crowns, preformed space maintainers, and preventive interventions play an important role in preserving primary teeth, maintaining arch integrity, and supporting healthy dental development.

In this clinically focused online IIDR lecture, Dr. Ashwini Amit Tak will discuss modern approaches to managing primary teeth. She will focus on crown selection and placement, preformed space maintainers, and preventive strategies. Additionally, the session will cover clinical indications, treatment planning, material selection, and practical considerations for predictable outcomes in young patients.
