    Leeway Space of Nance

    This document discusses dental spacing, specifically the Leeway Space of Nance. It defines the Leeway Space of Nance as the difference between the combined width of primary canines and molars, and the combined width of permanent canines and premolars. The Leeway Space is greater in the mandible (3.4mm per segment) than the maxilla (1.8mm per segment) because the primary second molar and first molar are larger compared to their permanent successors in the mandible. This space is important as it allows for greater medial drift of the mandibular molars compared to the maxillary molars, achieving a Class I molar relationship.

    LEEWAY SPACE OF NANCE

    Presented by :
    Gauri Kushwaha (6087014) Under the guidance of:
    Gurpreet Singh (6087015) Dr.Kalyani Bhargava
    Harishchandra Das (6087016) Dr. Mayura Paul
    Teeth spacing is a dental anomaly characterized by
    interdental spaces and lack of contact points between
    teeth.

    Spaces are very common in the primary dentition and


    their presence is a favourable sign for the development of
    permanent teeth. In contrast , lack of spaces strongly
    suggests that crowding may occur in permanent
    dentition.
    TYPES OF SPACING B/W THE
    PRIMARY DENTITION

     GENERALISED SPACING

    PRIMATE SPACING

    LEEWAY SPACE OF NANCE


    GENERALISED SPACING:-
    Usually seen in deciduous anteriors to accommodate larger
    permanent teeth.

    Utilised to partly account for incisal liability.

    During 1st transitional period of mixed dentition, deciduous


    incisors are replaced by permanent incisors. Permanent incisors
    are much more easily accommodated in normal alignment in
    cases exhibiting adequate inter-dental spaces than in arch that
    has no space.
    PRIMATE SPACES/ SIMIAN SPACES/
    ANTHROPOIDS SPACES
    This space is present mesial to the maxillary canine and
    distal to the mandibular canine.
    This space is used for early mesial shift.
    EARLY MESIAL SHIFT:- In spaced primary dentition
    and a straight terminal plane relationship of the primary
    molars, the permanent 1st molars emerge at about 6yrs,
    move the primary molars mesial, close the space distal to
    the primary canines and allow the maxillary molars to
    emerge into a Class1 molar relationship.
    LEEWAY SPACE OF NANCE

    • Described by Nance in 1947.


    • Definitions:
     Combined mesiodistal width of permanent canines and premolars
    is usually less than that if deciduous canines and molars.
    The difference between the two is known as Leeway space of
    Nance.

    OR
     The amount by which the space occupied by the primary canine and
    first and second primary molar exceeds that occupied by the canine
    and premolar of the secondary dentition.
    MEASURED VALUE:
     For Maxilla: 0.9mm/segment = 1.8mm
     For Mandible: 1.7mm/ segment =3.4mm

    IMPORTANCE OF LEEWAY SPACE


     These spaces are utilised to achieve Class I
    molar relationship via medial drift of mandibular
    molars greater than maxillary ones
    WHY THE LEEWAY SPACE IS GREATER IN
    MANDIBLE THAN IN MAXILLA?
    • In contrast to the anterior teeth, permanent premolars are smaller than
    primary teeth they replace.The mandibular primary 2nd molar is on average
    2mm larger than 2nd premolar, while in the maxillary arch ,the primary 2nd
    molar is only 1.5mm larger
    • The primary 1st molar is only slightly larger than the 1st
    Premolar but does contribute extra 0.5mm in mandible.
    • The result is that each side in the mandible arch contain
    about 2.5mm of what is called leeway space while in max-
    illary arch , about only 1.5mm is availabile.
