The clinical evaluation for patient acceptance was carried out at six months follow-up using a five-point Likert scale. Patient comfort during clinical procedure, chairside clinical time, space loss, gingival index and plaque index were also recorded and compared between the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n After six months, both space maintainers were well accepted by the children, showing no statistically significant difference between the groups (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05). In group 1, 40% of children, and in group 2, 46.6% of them showed mild discomfort measured using the Sound, Eye, Motor (SEM) scale, while the others were comfortable during the clinical procedure. The mean chairside clinical time required was 14.12 \u00b1 3.90 and 19.96 \u00b1 5.55 min for group 1 and group 2, respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001). The plaque index, the gingival index and space loss after six months had no statistically significant differences between groups.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The CBLSM and PBLSM were comparable in terms of patient acceptance, comfort during clinical procedure and space loss after six months.
