The Deluxe Intro Kit is an extended introductory kit for working with Denovo space maintainers, allowing for chairside customization of the maintainer.

The Deluxe Intro Kit includes:

• 156 bands, 2 in each of 39 sizes for the maxilla and mandible
• 156 archwires, wide and narrow (12 distal shoe type, 68 without occlusal rests, 12 with occlusal rests, and 64 drop wire type)
• 1 crimping pliers for wires in maintainer tubes
• 1 demonstration model
• Band removal pliers
• Professional band and crown seater

The bands and wires are packaged in two connected sets of drawer boxes with inserts, ensuring easy access, organization, and convenience for reordering.

The entire 3-step procedure can be performed chairside, in just a few minutes, during a single visit — before the patient’s anesthetic wears off:

1. Try on the space maintainer band.
2. Insert the wire, adjust it to the interdental space, and crimp the tubes.
3. Cement the maintainer in place.

Technique

Start by selecting 1–3 approximate band or crown sizes from the Denovo Space Maintainer kit and try them on the tooth adjacent to the gap.
A properly fitted band should slide onto the tooth tightly, with slight resistance — the better the fit, the greater the durability of the maintainer.

If the band was tried on but not fully seated, it should be sterilized and returned to the kit.

Wires come in narrow and wide versions, suitable for smaller and larger bands. In the Denovo kit, band sizes are color-coded according to their corresponding wire type.

Types of wires and their application:

• Drop wires – curved upwards, preventing gingival impingement.
• Plain wires – very pliable, easily adaptable to various clinical situations.
• Occlusal rest wires – provide additional stability and support by bending over the occlusal surface.
• Distal shoe – when correctly placed and confirmed with an X-ray, can be inserted subgingivally when the first permanent molar is not yet fully erupted.

Trim the selected wire (if necessary), insert it into the tubes, re-seat the band, and thread the wire through the gap to maintain space. Gently bending the loop to match the natural gingival contour prevents tissue irritation.

Crimp the tubes with a firm, circular motion to permanently secure the wires. Finally, cement the finished maintainer using your preferred glass ionomer cement.
