Masticare™Paediatric Bridge-Spacer
(anterior and posterior teeth)
Masticare™ is an hybrid solution for children who lost teeth prematurely. Masticare™ accumulates the aesthetic function, acting as a bridge/crown, and the space maintainer function, keeping enough space open for permanent teeth to grow properly. Unique is aesthetics and functionality. For anterior teeth a composite is used while for posterior teeth peek is used.
Value Proposition
​
Masticare™ is a solution that accumulates three functions: aesthetics as it replaces, temporarily, a missed tooth; functionality, as you can use the temporary tooth; and space maintainer, as the the tempporary tooth keeps the space for new tooth eruption. The hollowed yet mechanically resistant temporary tooth, permits chewing loads, keeps inner space for tooth eruption, and is aesthetical. For anterior tooth composite materials, similar to tooth color are used, while for posterior teeth, peek material is used for higher mechanical resistance.

Advantages
The Masticare™ paediatric bridge-spacer is a three in one solution: Acts as a space maintainer for new tooth eruption; acts as a bridge introducing a temporary tooth; and allows for chewing function.

Aesthetics and mechanical resistance
